AKS unable to pull image from ACR

Question

Created an AKS cluster, attached the ACR to the AKS.
The AKS can pull other images from the same repository. But when ever I am running the below deployment it is failing with error: Failed to pull image "conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io/nginxnonrooti:v1": [rpc error: code = NotFound desc = failed to pull and unpack image "conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io/nginxnonrooti:v1": no match for platform in manifest: not found, failed to pull and unpack image "conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io/nginxnonrooti:v1": failed to resolve reference "conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io/nginxnonrooti:v1": failed to authorize: failed to fetch anonymous token: unexpected status from GET request to https://conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io/oauth2/token?scope=repository%3Anginxnonrooti%3Apull&service=conatinerregistry01.azurecr.io: 401 Unauthorized]

Issue:

AKS unable to pull image from ACR.

Solution:

The problem was building the Docker image on a MacBook (ARM architecture) but deploying on an amd64 environment. The fix was to build the image for amd64:

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t <image-name>:amd64 .

After pushing the image to ACR, deployment could pull and run it successfully. This ensures compatibility for ARM-to-amd64 deployments.

If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
