Answer 1

According to your desciption

I just found out that I can still pull and deploy older images. But every new image I build cannot be pulled by the kubernetes pods.

I assume you can pull docker image by command, but not kubectl.

docker pull eu.gcr.io/my-gcp-project/my-image:v1.009 

So reference by this article Using Google Container Registry with Kubernetes, the authenication is differnet between pull docker image by docker pull and kubectl .

Did you give access token to GKE?

kubectl create secret docker-registry gcr-access-token \
--docker-server=eu.gcr.io \
--docker-username=oauth2accesstoken \
--docker-password="$(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
--docker-email=any@valid.email
