Trying to create a Kubernetes deployment but it shows 0 pods available

7/2/2018

I'm new to k8s, so some of my terminology might be off. But basically, I'm trying to deploy a simple web api: one load balancer in front of n pods (where right now, n=1).

However, when I try to visit the load balancer's IP address it doesn't show my web application. When I run kubectl get deployments, I get this:

NAME      DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
tl-api    1         1         1            0           4m

Here's my YAML file. Let me know if anything looks off--I'm very new to this!

---
apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: Deployment

  name: tl-api
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:

    spec:

        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
      imagePullSecrets:
      - name: acr-auth
      nodeSelector:

spec:

  selector:
    app: tl-api

Edit 2: When I try using ACS (which supports Windows), I get this:

I then try examining the failed pod:

PS C:\users\<me>\source\repos\DeviceCloud\DeviceCloud\1- Presentation\DeviceCloud.Web.API> kubectl logs tl-api-3466491809-vd5kg
Error from server (BadRequest): container "tl-api" in pod "tl-api-3466491809-vd5kg" is waiting to start: trying and failing to pull image

When I run docker images I see the following:

Your problem is that the container image tlk8s.azurecr.io/devicecloudwebapi:v1 is in a private container registry. See the events at the bottom of the following command:

$ kubectl describe po -l=app=tl-api

The official Kubernetes docs describe how to resolve this issue, see Pull an Image from a Private Registry, essentially:

  • Create a secret kubectl create secret docker-registry
  • Use it in your deployment, under the spec.imagePullSecrets key
