<!-- Please use this template while reporting a bug and provide as much info as possible. Not doing so may result in your bug not being addressed in a timely manner. Thanks! If the matter is security related, please disclose it privately via --imagePullSecrets can to a pod manifest to reference a secret containing registry credentials. Currently, if you add the name of a secret that does not exist, there is no warning or error. I would expect there to be an error and a failed deployment if the secret does not exist/cannot be found in the namespace. If people are pulling public images, they may still wish to authenticate to a registry, for example dockerhub, before pulling the image, in order to utilise their subscription account rate limits. Currently if they use imagePullSecrets and the referenced secret does not exist, they may assume they are authenticating to their account when they are not, and will still be able to pull public images without any warning that authentication is not taking place. Add to a pod spec, and pull images from
/sig node (based on the field location)
(and/or) /sig auth
correct me if not. Pulling private images with nonexists secret, pod will turn to . However, pulling public image with nonexists secret, no error will display yet.
Similar issue with .
Yes that's correct.
I think so. Working on this later. Will also live up to your expectations, right?
But I check it already have a warnging events if secret not exist and pullImageFail: line:147
Now, only info message when pullsecret not exist
maybe direct return and not enter is better. if pullSecret is not existed
if you pull image from a public repo, the process should not be impacted even no secrets exists. And it's what it is right now.
I think a warning event like could be here /good-first-issue /triage accepted

Thanks for wanting to jump in on this, but it's not clear this is a good first issue… making the proposed change would break deployments/pods that are currently working/running, so it's unlikely this would be acceptable from a compatibility perspective.
Requiring image pull secrets to exist would have to be opt-in, which means an API change. I don't think this is worth the addition, but would like to hear sig-node's perspective. An alternative could be to explore ways to make it more obvious to the user when this situation was occurring without automatically failing the pod
hi , we will not fail the pod, we just want to add some warning to make it obviously, maybe it's the same as you advised. correct me if not.
To be clear here, only adding a warning is marked as good first issue here, not changing any pod behaviour.
gotcha, that seems more reasonable, thanks for clarifying as a note, make sure the warning events are generated at most once in that function, rather than once per missing secret object (if there are multiple missing secrets)

Yes, a warning would be good. I feel an error would have be better, but as has already been mentioned above we are too far along now for this change as it could break some users existing deployments, so a warning makes the most sense now.
/assign
based on what you have stated above, I see an INFO log already exists! If I'm understanding this correctly, now we need to raise a warning event in the same code block to fulfill this request. Is that right?
I think has created a above and labeled /lgtm already.
Hey I don't know anything about how to code but i am interested to contribute on kubernetes So help me to contribute

Yes go on!!!

Sorry for keep opening the PR. something went wrong on my fork branch. I eventually needed to re-fork the repo so it caused the PR closed automatically

Can I give it a go if no one is working on it?
Thanks for the offer, but it looks like was open and had an update that was waiting for review (which I didn't realize)

is this issue still available to pick up?

Hi, is this issue still available?
Hi! It feels that this issue is stalled (although it lacks the label) and the related PRs have been abandoned. I'll work on it if that's ok /assign
As well as an event, we might like to directly report a warning to end users (suggested in ). More complexity though.
should it be part of this issue? it only mentions but as you guys (the contributors) decide. is based on which was labelled as and suggested as a starting point before being closed.
