Probably D here too. Using the exact sha256 digest means you’re locking in the precise image that worked before, avoiding any tag confusion. Tags like ‘latest’ can move around, so switching back to a tag (like in A or B) might not guarantee the same image. Building a new container from an old Git tag (C) could work, but it takes extra steps and might introduce build inconsistencies. Just pointing to the digest keeps it simple and reliable for rollback.

D, because using the digest guarantees the exact image without relying on tags.

D makes the most sense since latest tag is unstable and we need a known good image.

Option D, but does anyone else find the latest tag usage here super risky?
