Here is secret file for credential

What does kubectl logs deploy/velero -n velero tell you you? — Hizzy, Aug 19 '20 at 19:44

You are missing the required parameter --plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.0.0

--plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.0.0 it worked for me – Ashish Karpe Dec 07 '20 at 10:25
This should be marked as the correct answer if it solved the issue. This flag is required to tell Velero what plugin to install, and it is missing from the OP's install command. It most definitely would cause the deployment to fail. – carlisia Dec 19 '20 at 17:04

Are you using GCP's experimental k8 cluster? Cause I got same error, later I switched to normal cluster.
