My pod does the following:
Warning Failed 21m (x4 over 23m) kubelet, 10.76.199.35 Failed to pull image "registryname/image:version1.2": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: unauthorized: authentication required
but other images will work. The output of
ibmcloud cr images
doesn't show anything different about the images that don't work. What could be going wrong here?
Given this is in kubenetes and you can see the image in ibmcloud cr images it most likely going to be a misconfiguration of your imagePullSecrets.
If you do kubectl get pod <pod-name> -o yaml you will be able to see the what imagePullSecrets are in scope for the pod and check if it looks correct (could be worth comparing it to a pod that is working).
It's worth noting that if your cluster is an instance in the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service a default imagePullSecret for your account is added to the default namespace and therefore if you are running the pod in a different Kubenetes namespace you will need to do additional steps to make that work. This is a good place to start for information on this topic.
