[Hawkular-dev] Openshift/k8s templates, tagged images vs IfNotPresent

[Pavol Loffay]

Hi,

we are providing OpenShift and k8s templates for Jaeger project
https://github.com/jaegertracing.

What is the "standard" in the industry when providing *public* templates?
Should we use tagged versions of images or depend on IfNotPresent strategy
(pull image when not present)?

I would say that public templates should use tagged versions because it's
always tested against a specific version and therefore guaranteed that it
works as expected. This also seems to be the case templates provided by
fabric8 team. Another thing is that templates not using tagged versions
might get quickly outdated.

IfNotPresent may lead to weird states when a template is not compatible
with pulled image. Plus it does not allow to simply update deployment when
using tagged templates.

I'm just interested in what people think and use.

Regards,
