<p>I am authenticating via the following</p>
<p>First I authenticate into AWS via the following</p>
<pre><code>aws ecr get-login-password --region cn-north-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin xxxxxxxxxx.dkr.ecr.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn
</code></pre>
<p>Then I created the <code>regcred</code> file that I reference in my deployment config</p>
<pre><code>kubectl create secret generic regcred --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=/home/noobskie/.docker/config.json --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
</code></pre>
<p>So this was working fine the first 12 hours but now that the AWS token has expired I am having trouble figuring out how to properly refresh it. I have rerun the first command but it doesn't work.</p>
<p>the error I get is</p>
<pre><code>Error response from daemon: pull access denied for xxxxxxxxxxx.dkr.ecr.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn/baopals, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: Your authorization token has expired. Reauthenticate and try again.
</code></pre>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>I have just discovered that I can just reconfigure with the following command but I am curious if this is the correct way to handle it and if there are any other AWS ways offered.</p>
<pre><code>kubectl create secret generic regcred --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=/home/noobskie/.docker/config.json --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
</code></pre>

<p>Use the following command to generate token if aws-cli and aws-iam-authenticator is installed and configured.</p>
<pre><code>aws-iam-authenticator token -i cluster name
</code></pre>
