<p>I have my image hosted on GCR.
I want to create Kubernetes Cluster on my local system(mac).</p>

<p>Steps I followed :</p>

<ol>
<li>Create a imagePullSecretKey</li>
<li>Create generic key to communicate with GCP. (kubectl create secret generic gcp-key --from-file=key.json)</li>
<li>I have deployment.yaml file</li>
</ol>

<blockquote>

<blockquote>
  <p>kubectl logs podname --> <em>Done Deploying sv-premier</em></p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am confused why my container is exiting. not able to start.</p>

<p>Kindly guide please.</p>

Maxx
<p>Update your deployment.yaml with a long running task example.</p>

<pre><code>command: ["/bin/sh"]
args: ["-c", "while true; do echo Done Deploying sv-premier; sleep 3600;done"]
</code></pre>

<p>This will put your container to sleep after deployment and every hour it will log the message.</p>
