<p>Still new to Containers and Kubernetes here but I am dabbling with deploying a cluster on Google Containers Engine and was wondering if you can use a docker hub hosted image to deploy containers, so in my .yaml configuration file I'd say:</p>

<pre><code>  ...
  image: hub.docker.com/r/my-team/my-image:latest
  ...
</code></pre>

<p>Is this possible? Or one has to download/build image locally and then upload it to Google Containers Registery?</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible. The Replication Controller template or Pod spec image isn't special. If you specify <code>image: redis</code> you will get the latest tag of the official Docker Hub library Redis image, just as if you did <code>docker pull redis</code>.</p>
