I have a ServiceAccount YAML file which I am applying to a new cluster.

My YAML is like below:

apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: ServiceAccount
  metadata:
    creationTimestamp: 2019-03-20T23:17:42Z
    name: default
    namespace: dev4
    resourceVersion: "80999"
    selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/dev4/serviceaccounts/default
    uid: 5c6e0d09-4b66-11e9-b4e3-0a779a87bb40
  secrets:
  - name: default-token-tl4dd
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: ServiceAccount
  metadata:
    annotations:
      kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
        {"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"ServiceAccount","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"pod-labeler","namespace":"dev4"}}
    creationTimestamp: 2020-04-21T05:46:25Z
    name: pod-labeler
    namespace: dev4
    resourceVersion: "113455688"
    selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/dev4/serviceaccounts/pod-labeler
    uid: 702dadda-8393-11ea-abd9-0a768ca51346
  secrets:
  - name: pod-labeler-token-6vgp7
kind: List
metadata:
  resourceVersion: ""
  selfLink: ""

When I apply to the new EKS Cluster at version 1.16, by the command kubectl apply -f <yaml file> I get the error as below:

Warning: kubectl apply should be used on resource created by either kubectl create --save-config or kubectl apply
