  "description": "## Private Registry Image Pull Secret\n\nIn production, images are stored in private registries that require authentication. Kubernetes uses `imagePullSecrets` to securely store registry credentials and inject them at image pull time.\n\n**Your task:**\n\n1. Create a Docker registry Secret named `registry-creds` for registry `registry.company.com` with:\n   - Username: `ci-bot`\n   - Password: `s3cr3t-token`\n   - Email: `ci@company.com`\n2. Create a Pod named `private-pod` using `nginx:alpine` that references `registry-creds` as an `imagePullSecret`\n\n```bash\n# Verify:\nkubectl get pod private-pod -o jsonpath='{.spec.imagePullSecrets[0].name}'\n```",
