Pull image with secret¶

When you want to pull an image from a private registry, you need to provide the credentials to authenticate with the registry. Therefore, you need to create a secret that contains the credentials and then use that secret to pull the image.

Step 1: Create registry secret¶

You can use either one to create registry secret:

• Imperative way to create registry secret
• Declarative way to create registry secret

Step 2: Apply secret to pod¶

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: my-pod
spec:
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: my-secret # secret name
  containers:
    - name: my-container
      image: my-image
