We are going to build a docker image locally and then run a Pod inside the Kubernetes cluster with that image.
Build a docker image locally using dockerfile.
Save the following docker file ubuntu-sleep.dockerfile
FROM ubuntu
ENTRYPOINT ["sleep"]
CMD ["5"]
Build image docker build -t ubuntu-sleep -f ubuntu-sleep.dockerfile .
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) docker build -t ubuntu-sleep -f ubuntu-sleep.dockerfile .

Create a Kind Cluster with the name demo.
kind create cluster --name=demo
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) kind create cluster --name=demo
Creating cluster "demo" ...
â Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.25.3) đŧ

Set kubectl context to "kind-demo"
You can now use your cluster with:
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-demo
Have a nice day! đ
Load the docker image to the kind cluster demo
kind load docker-image ubuntu-sleep --name demo
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) kind load docker-image ubuntu-sleep --name demo
Image: "" with ID "sha256:b739783c0472bbc0008474a0e9f1c5a55dc0419fd4d7851bed8b08fec7596332" not yet present on node "demo-control-plane", loading...
Kind load is a very useful command and provides multiple options as well. To get more info about the kind load command use the -h option.
Run a pod inside the demo cluster with the following command
kubectl run ubuntu-sleep --image=ubuntu-sleep
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) kubectl run ubuntu-sleep --image=ubuntu-sleep
pod/ubuntu-sleep created
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) kubectl get pod ubuntu-sleep
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ubuntu-sleep 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 14s
When we check the pod status it is ImagePullBackOff which means it is failing in running the container with the given image. Wait, what did we do wrong?
Lets, try to debug the problem. As we all know the Kind runs a kubernetes cluster inside docker right? KIND (Kubernetes Inside Docker)
Run the following command to check if the image is already available.
(base) ~/code/devops/kubernetes/CKAD (master â) docker exec -it demo-control-plane crictl images

Yeah! it's there. Then what the hack problem is?
If we sit back and relax and look again at the pod events we see it is trying to pull the image, but why? we already have that in our local system.
ahhh! we didn't specify the pull policy and the default one is imagePullPolicy: Always

woala!!! It is working and the container is running!
Happy Learning...
