Image Pull Secrets at Scale

Pulling private images. The patterns.

Per-namespace

Pull secret in each namespace.

Granular but tedious.

ServiceAccount

Default ServiceAccount with imagePullSecret.

Less per-pod config.

Automate

Operator that creates pull secrets per namespace.

Scales without manual.
