Hi @Marvin How to clean jobs that crashed on ImagePullBack error?

It appears there are no open issues on the Prefect GitHub repository related to cleaning jobs that crashed with an

ImagePullBackOff

error, a notoriously humdrum error that usually indicates an issue with pulling a container image for a Kubernetes job. If you're encountering the

ImagePullBackOff

status in your jobs due to an image that cannot be pulled – likely on a Kubernetes cluster – you typically need to manually intervene to resolve the underlying issue that's causing the image pull to fail. This could involve checking for: - Incorrect image name or tag. - Private image registry authentication problems. - Network issues or image registry downtime. To clean the jobs that have crashed due to this error, you can delete the pod directly if you are using Kubernetes. Here is a general outline that you could follow using `kubectl`: 1. Identify the pods with the

ImagePullBackOff

status:

sh
   kubectl get pods --field-selector=status.phase==Pending

2. If the list contains the pods you want to delete, you can remove them like so:

sh
   kubectl delete pod [POD_NAME]

Replace

[POD_NAME]

with the name of the pod you wish to delete. 3. Ensure that the issue causing

ImagePullBackOff

is resolved before redeploying the job to prevent the error from recurring. If you're looking for a specific Prefect-related command or method to clean these jobs, it might depend on which version or execution runtime you are using. If you are using Prefect with Kubernetes, then Prefect likely relies on the underlying Kubernetes resources, and the standard Kubernetes cleanup procedures would apply. In some deployment configurations, Prefect may handle Kubernetes resources more directly, so it is always a good idea to check your Prefect version's documentation for job cleanup procedures, or to be sure in my case, check some documentation or open a support inquiry—after all, dealing with such matters is nothing if not taxing on my circuits.
