Replace quay.io/opdev/virtwork:latest with v0.0.1 semantic version tag to ensure reproducible deployments. Mutable :latest tag can silently pick up different images between pod restarts, making debugging difficult.

Semantic version tags provide:

  • Reproducible deployments (version tags follow semver conventions)
  • Human-readable versions vs opaque digests
  • Easy manual updates during releases
  • No automation needed to update manifests

Changes:

  • Update deploy/deployment.yaml to use v0.0.1 tag
  • Change imagePullPolicy from Always to IfNotPresent
  • Update README.md to document versioned tag usage and upgrade process

Fixes #2
