• I have created my cluster using kubeadm init and even provided the config file to define the cloud provider as aws.
• I have given the required permission for the IAM role for ECR and i am able to pull the image using the docker pull.
• It's just when i deploy my pod via kubernetes it cannot pull the images.

Is there something that i am missing?

Following is the description of the POD.
