I'm trying to deploy a Kubernetes Pod in AKS (I'm new to Kubernetes, so at this stage, I just want to create a container, deploy to Kubernetes and connect to it).
My Yaml file is as follows:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
spec:
containers:
- name: dockertest20190205080020
image: dockertest20190205080020.azurecr.io
ports:
- containerPort: 443
metadata:
name: my-test
I've created the image in Azure Container Registry and, according to the CLI, successfully deployed it to Kubernetes.
After deploying, I used the following command:
kubectl get service
And it tells me there is no External IP to connect to. I then tried:
kubectl describe pod my-test
Which gave the following errors:
Events:
Warning Failed 4m (x2221 over 8h) kubelet, aks-nodepool1-27401563-2 Error: ImagePullBackOff
Normal BackOff 0s (x2242 over 8h) kubelet, aks-nodepool1-27401563-2 Back-off pulling image "dockertest20190205080020.azurecr.io"
I then tried editing the deployment:
kubectl edit pods my-test
Which game me the error:
message: 'containers with unready status: [dockertest20190205080020]'
I'm not a little unsure what my next diagnostic step would be. I get the impression there's an issue with the container or the container registry, but I'm unsure how to determine what that may be.

What happens here (most likely) - your AKS doesnt have permissions to pull images frmo you ACR (that's the default behaviour). You need to grant those (link):
#!/bin/bash
AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP=myAKSResourceGroup
AKS_CLUSTER_NAME=myAKSCluster
ACR_RESOURCE_GROUP=myACRResourceGroup
ACR_NAME=myACRRegistry
# Get the id of the service principal configured for AKS
CLIENT_ID=$(az aks show --resource-group $AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP --name $AKS_CLUSTER_NAME --query "servicePrincipalProfile.clientId" --output tsv)
# Get the ACR registry resource id
ACR_ID=$(az acr show --name $ACR_NAME --resource-group $ACR_RESOURCE_GROUP --query "id" --output tsv)
# Create role assignment
az role assignment create --assignee $CLIENT_ID --role acrpull --scope $ACR_ID
Alternative is to just use a docker login secret (that article mentions that as well).
Example image in ACR:
image name would be
clrtacr.azurecr.io/dns:tag (or without tag for latest)

I'm not sure if you know there is something wrong in your yaml file, or it just shows as you want for security. But I would show you here:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
spec:
containers:
- name: dockertest20190205080020
image: dockertest20190205080020.azurecr.io/image_name_and_version
ports:
- containerPort: 443
metadata:
name: my-test
Also, as the error that you got shows, you don't have the permission to pull the image from your ACR.
On my side, I would be better to use a secret for pulling all the image from the ACR. You can create a service principal to achieve it. The steps would be like here:
#!/bin/bash
ACR_NAME=myacrinstance
SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME=acr-service-principal
# Populate the ACR login server and resource id.
ACR_LOGIN_SERVER=$(az acr show --name $ACR_NAME --query loginServer --output tsv)
ACR_REGISTRY_ID=$(az acr show --name $ACR_NAME --query id --output tsv)
# Create acrpull role assignment with a scope of the ACR resource.
SP_PASSWD=$(az ad sp create-for-rbac --name $SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME --role acrpull --scopes $ACR_REGISTRY_ID --query password --output tsv)
# Get the service principal client id.
CLIENT_ID=$(az ad sp show --id http://$SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME --query appId --output tsv)
# Output used when creating Kubernetes secret.
echo "Service principal ID: $CLIENT_ID"
echo "Service principal password: $SP_PASSWD"
# Create the secret
kubectl create secret docker-registry acr-auth --docker-server <acr-login-server> --docker-username <service-principal-ID> --docker-password <service-principal-password>
Then you can change your yaml file like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
spec:
containers:
- name: dockertest20190205080020
image: dockertest20190205080020.azurecr.io/image_name_and_version
ports:
- containerPort: 443
imagePullSecrets:
- name: acr-auth
metadata:
name: my-test
