I’m curious if other folks are running into this. Using a KubernetesRun run config and Docker storage for our flows, we almost always need to manually bump the Docker

image_tag

to a new version in order for K8s to pick up the new image. Does anyone have a more automated way of doing this? It’s not uncommon for someone to forget to make that change and leads to confusion about what’s running in prod.

Hi @Brian Mesick -- this is because the default image pull policy on the kubernetes jobs is

IfNotPresent

if you change this to

Always

it'll always pull the newest image. Overriding tags is generally not recommended by Docker though so 🤷

Thanks, I think I asked this before and got the same answer. I’m hoping this is a thing we can automate once we get CI running on our flows.

If you want you can set this globally on your agent by providing a default template with

imagePullPolicy

configured: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/kubernetes.html#custom-job-template

Awesome, thanks @Jim Crist-Harif
