Creating a pod from an repo?

Kubernetes
#1

when you run the below command, how does the command know that the image is pulled from the docker public repository and not other repositories?

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx

is there any setting from where images have to be pulled?

#2

By default if you don’t specify any docker registery it will contact the docker public repo

#3

It is also possible to manually specify the path of a registry to pull from. For example, if you have set up a local registry, you can specify its path to pull from it. A registry path is similar to a URL, but does not contain a protocol specifier ( https:// ).

#4

Thanks for clarification. I assume this default setting to Docker repo is not specific to the labs or demos provided by kodekloud. Correct?
