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

Issue

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

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.
