# Spinnaker supports KUSTOMIZE up to v3.8.5 as the Render Engine in Bake (Manifest) Configuration, but

### Issue <a href="#issue" id="issue"></a>

When using `Kustomize` as the declared Render Engine, user may get exceptions as seen below:

`Exception ( Monitor Deploy ) The following required artifacts could not be bound: '[ArtifactKey(type=docker/image, name=250312325083.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/hive-won-airings, version=0.1.5, location=null, reference=250312325083.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/hive-won-airings:0.1.5)]'. Check that the Docker image name above matches the name used in the image field of your manifest. Failing the stage as this is likely a configuration error.`

### Cause <a href="#cause" id="cause"></a>

The latest versions of `Kustomize`, for example, v4.5.5, etc., are not supported within in the cluster due to the mismatch with the API version declared.
