   Windows:

Prepare Kubernetes Namespace

Change namespace to your own using: kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=participant-<id>

Create container registry secret

Create a secret docker-secret with credentials to access the container registry:

kubectl create secret docker-registry docker-secret --docker-username=$USERNAME --docker-password=$API_KEY --docker-server=$YOUR_CONTAINER_REGISTRY 

This will create a K8s secret, docker-secret, in your namespace.
