Gitlab CI/CD deployment upgrade in managed Kube fails with ImagePullBackOff

Posted on December 16, 2019

Hi. I’m running managed Kube with the latest version. When I do a CI/CD deployment from Gitlab, everything is green on Gitlab’s side, the deployment fires, but it will never successfully roll out in Kube. It stays stuck with an ImagePullBackOff error, unauthorized: HTTP Basic: Access denied. On the Kube side, one pod is upgraded, a fourth pod is created that displays this error, and the other two pods remain untouched.

If I manually delete the deployment before running the Gitlab pipeline, everything works. I’m at a loss for where I’m going wrong. I upgraded to more memory just to ensure it wasn’t a memory issue (I’m running basic nodes), but the problem persisted.
