+If you get the error message `error: no objects passed to create`, it may mean the base64 encoded string is invalid. 
+If you get an error message like `Secret "myregistrykey" is invalid: data[.dockercfg]: invalid value ...` it means

 Now, you can create pods which reference that secret by adding an `imagePullSecrets`
 section to a pod definition.
