Hey everyone! I'm running into issues during the deployment stage of my Kubernetes setup. The build phase goes well, but when I try to deploy, I'm greeted with an ImagePullBackOff error. This means the image I need isn't being pulled successfully. Specifically, the error message states it failed to resolve the reference because of a 403 Forbidden error when trying to fetch an anonymous token. I've set up my deployment process with a series of scripts to apply various Kubernetes manifests, including the namespace, secrets, and the deployment itself. Here's a snippet of my problematic deployment block, which references an image I'm trying to pull from a registry that I suspect might be private. I'd really appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue!

It sounds like your image might be stored in a private registry. For Kubernetes to pull images from there, you'll need to create an imagePullSecret. By doing this, Kubernetes can authenticate and pull the image successfully. Also, just a tip: make sure to format your code blocks better in your posts; it really helps with readability!
I faced a similar issue recently where my pod couldn't be drained and redeployed. What worked for me was temporarily scaling to another replica to complete the task and then scaling back down. It was a quick fix!
Exactly! You should check if you've defined your imagePullSecrets correctly in your deployment YAML. If you're using a secret for the registry credentials, ensure it's being referenced properly.
