[SOLVED] Exception on spring application startup with spring-cloud-kubernetes config maps dependencies present

I have a few spring services which has both Eureka-client and spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8-all dependencies. By default, Eureka is enabled and Kubernetes is disabled.

management:
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: '*'

eureka:
  client:
    enabled: true
    serviceUrl:
      defaultZone: http://localhost:8080/eureka/

spring:
  main:
    banner-mode: off
  application:
    name: service-one
  cloud:
    kubernetes:
      enabled: false
      config:
        enable-api: false
        enabled: false
      reload:
        enabled: false
  zipkin:
    enabled: false

When I startup the app, I get the following exception as a warning, eventough kubernetes is disabled. Running - docker run --rm dhananjay12/demo-service-one:latest

The exception is not there if I put the same property in env variable. Running - docker run --rm -e spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.enable-api=false dhananjay12/demo-service-one:latest

While the app does spin up and the rest of the thing works, can someone suggest, why is this exception there in the first place?
