Kubernetes pods can run different code despite identical tags

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A technical article explains how two Kubernetes pods, despite having the same deployment tag, can end up running different code. This discrepancy can occur if the same tag is re-pushed with new code, if image pull policies lead to cached inconsistencies, or if a tag is silently re-pointed in the registry. The article emphasizes that the immutable image digest, rather than the mutable tag, is the definitive identifier for verifying code consistency across pods. AI

    <h4><em>Your deployment looked fine. kubectl get pods said Running. But one pod was serving a build from three days ago.</em></h4><p>You roll out a deployment. All pods show Running. Your readiness probes pass. Metrics look normal — mostly. But one service is throwing intermitten…
