Hello!  
I am currently trying to set up an execution environment, including the “hpe-cw7-ansible” module from HPE Networking on github, hosted on a local Gitlab server.

This is my execution-environment.yml.

does kubectl describe or logs againts the job pod container tell you more info about the ImagePullBackOff error?

can you also copy and paste the api/v2/ output for both the execution environment and the credential used to access that image registry?

Are you talking about the pod container that is created by the execution environment? If so, I can’t find that one. I can only see the pods that I created for AWX.

As to your second question: I’m not sure what you mean. What commands would you like me to run?  
Sorry but I’m fairly new to this.  
Thanks for your help!

I played around a little bit and now I am receiving the following error message:

Error creating pod: container failed with exit code 1:

Is it possible for you to also include the following endpoints:  
api/v2/execution\_environments/N/ where N is the newly created EE  
api/v2/credentials/N/ where the credential matches that of the EE

Thanks,
