What is the meaning of ImagePullBackOff status on a Kubernetes pod?

Question

I\'m trying to run my first kubernetes pod locally. I\'ve run the following command (from here):

export ARCH=amd64
docker run -d \\
    --volume=/:/rootfs:ro \\

One issue that may cause an ImagePullBackOff especially if you are pulling from a private registry is if the pod is not configured with the imagePullSecret of the private registry.

An authentication error may cause an imagePullBackOff.
