ZotRegistryDown #

Meaning #

The Zot container registry instance has been unhealthy for 5 minutes. This can originate from a misconfiguration, resource exhaustion, or a dependency failure.

Impact #

Users and CI/CD pipelines cannot push or pull container images. Deployments that depend on Zot-hosted images will fail.

Diagnosis #

Check Zot pod status:

kubectl get pods -n zot -l app.kubernetes.io/name=zot

Check Zot logs:

kubectl logs -n zot -l app.kubernetes.io/name=zot --tail=100

Mitigation #

Restart the Zot deployment:

kubectl rollout restart deployment -n zot -l app.kubernetes.io/name=zot

Check resource usage and scale if needed:

kubectl top pods -n zot
