 ## Add ImagePullSecrets to a service account
 
-First, create an imagePullSecret, as described [here](/docs/concepts/containers/images/#specifying-imagepullsecrets-on-a-pod).
-Next, verify it has been created. For example:

-```shell
-kubectl get secrets myregistrykey

 ```

+You can instead use `kubectl edit`, or manually edit the YAML manifests as shown below:
 
 ```shell
 kubectl get serviceaccounts default -o yaml > ./sa.yaml

-Now, any new pods created in the current namespace will have this added to their spec:
+### Verify imagePullSecrets was added to pod spec
 
-```yaml
-spec:
-  imagePullSecrets:

+Now, when a new Pod is created in the current namespace and using the default ServiceAccount, the new Pod has its  `spec.imagePullSecrets` field set automatically:

+````shell
+kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never
+kubectl get pod nginx -o=jsonpath='{.spec.imagePullSecrets[0].name}'
