The IBM Entitled Registry contains software images for the IBM DPOD Cloud Agent instance. To allow the IBM DPOD Cloud Agent Operator to automatically pull those software images, you must first obtain your entitlement key, then add your entitlement key in a pull secret.

Image Pull Secret

If the IBM DPOD Cloud Agent images are to be pulled from the IBM Entitled Registry, an Entitlement Key must be used as an Image Pull Secret.

Obtaining your entitlement key

1. Go to the Container software library.

2. Click Copy key.

3. Copy the entitlement key to a safe place so you can use it when you add the pull secret in the next section.

4. (Optional) Verify the validity of the key by logging in to the IBM Entitled Registry by using a container tool.

   Code Block
   docker login cp.icr.io --username cp --password entitlement_key

Creating the Secret

If you want to create your own Entitlement Key as a Secret, you must create it in the same namespace as the IBM DPOD Cloud Agent instance.

1. We recommend that you use the name ibm-entitlement-key

2. Use cp as the username

3. Use your Entitlement Key as the password

4. Use cp.icr.io as the Docker server
