Description

Summary:
Currently, some Kubernetes manifests reference images with the latest tag, e.g.:

image: rucio/rucio-clients:latest

Issue:
Using latest can lead to unpredictable behavior, breaking reproducibility and stability across environments.

Proposed change:

  • Pin all container images in Kubernetes deployments and pods to specific versions, e.g.:
image: rucio/rucio-clients:1.29.0

Rucio Docker images: https://hub.docker.com/u/rucio

Benefits:

  • Ensures consistent, reproducible deployments.
  • Avoids accidental breaking changes from automatic upgrades.
  • Simplifies debugging and testing.
