What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 6 follow-ups like an interviewer would

Teams build container images from various public base images and push them to a shared registry with mutable 'latest' tags.

  1. What is wrong with the current approach?
  2. How should images be built?
  3. What checks belong in the pipeline?
  4. How do you enforce it at deployment?
  5. What about model weights and patches?
  6. What pipeline would you implement?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
