The #kubernetes registry is moving!
Images for control plane components, as well as for the "pause" container (used by the "pod sandbox" for every pod) are moving from k8s.gcr.io to registry.k8s.io.
This will give you faster image pull speeds (yay!) *but* might break some scenarios; e.g. if you have some IP address filtering in place for the registry.
