Where does Kubernetes pull images and how can I browse them/change their pull source?

2/28/2019

Where does a file like this pull images like image: k8s.gcr.io/defaultbackend-amd64:1.5 and where can I brows them?

The next release of ingres-nginx uses 1.15.6 which fixes CVE-2018-16843 and CVE-2018-16844. I want to see if there is an image from the source that k8s.gcr.io/defaultbackend-amd64:1.5 is pulled from that contains images with that Nginx version.

I couldn't find the answer from the docs. I am not familiar with the default repos for Kubernetes. How would I configure a yaml file to pull from a specific registry with a URL?

-- Display name
container-registry
kubernetes
nginx

k8s.gcr.io is a registry service running on Google Cloud running as a service. In order to list the publicly available images or to find details about these images, please see one of the answers to an older and similar question.

The link is https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/google-containers/GLOBAL. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find.

In order to pull an image from a specific repository, just follow this semantics in your manifests:

image: <your-registry>/<your-project-path>/<your-container>:<your-tag>

e.g.:

image: www.myk8srepo.com/testing/nginx/defaultbackend-amd64:1.5.6
