How to fix this:- 

To resolve this issue, you may want to check the following:

Ensure that the image reference is correct. Verify that the image is available in the specified registry, and that the reference is correct and up to date.

Check the authentication credentials. Ensure that the Kubernetes cluster has the correct credentials to access the Azure Container Registry. You may want to verify the Azure Service Principal credentials and permissions to access the registry.

Check the network connectivity. Verify that the Kubernetes cluster node can access the internet and the Azure Container Registry without any network restrictions.

Check the Kubernetes cluster configuration. Ensure that the Kubernetes cluster is configured correctly to access the Azure Container Registry. You may want to verify the Kubernetes secret and config map settings.
