Summary

Kubernetes is an open-source platform used to manage, scale, and deploy containerized applications. It manages images in running containers through its Image Pull Policy feature. The imagePullPolicy specification allows users to specify how they want the Kubelet to pull an image if there's any change to a Pod. There are three options: IfNotPresent, Always, and Never. When the imagePullPolicy specification isn't defined in a manifest file, it defaults based on the image tag used.
