There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice catch!
Could you also format the description of the PR a bit more? It would make it a bit easier to read.

The pod_template_image helper only rendered repository:tag, ignoring digests, while airflow_image supports repository@digest with digest taking precedence over tag. Add images.pod_template.digest (falling back to defaultAirflowDigest) so worker pods can pin images by digest. Closes: apache#58625

Issue
The
airflow_imagehelper supportsrepository@digest(digest takes precedence over tag), butpod_template_imageonly renderedrepository:tag. As a result, worker pods created from the pod template ignored digests and could run stale images when a mutable tag likelatestwas reused.Fix
This PR makes
pod_template_imagemirrorairflow_image: it introducesimages.pod_template.digest(added tovalues.yamlandvalues.schema.json— the schema hasadditionalProperties: falsefor this block), falling back todefaultAirflowDigest, consistent with the existing repository/tag fallback chains.Before
(
helm template chart --set executor=KubernetesExecutor --set defaultAirflowRepository=my-repo --set defaultAirflowDigest=sha256:abc123):helm template chart \ --set executor=KubernetesExecutor \ --set defaultAirflowRepository=my-repo \ --set defaultAirflowDigest=sha256:abc123 2>/dev/null \ | grep "image: my-repo" | sort -uAfter (same values):
helm template chart \ --set executor=KubernetesExecutor \ --set defaultAirflowRepository=my-repo \ --set defaultAirflowDigest=sha256:abc123 2>/dev/null \ | grep "image: my-repo" | sort -uRuntime caveat, documented in the new value's description:
the chart defaults
config.kubernetes_executor.worker_container_repository/worker_container_tagtoimages.airflow.repository:tag, and when both are set the KubernetesExecutor overrides the pod template's base container image with thatrepo:tagstring (kube_config.pybuildskube_image;PodGenerator.construct_podreconciles it over the base pod).Since
repo:tagcannot express a digest, the digest only takes effect when those two config options are unset — the same pre-existing limitation already documented forimages.pod_template.repository/tag.Making those config defaults digest-aware (defaulting them to empty when a digest is configured, so the template image wins) would fix the reporter's scenario with zero config changes, but it changes default behavior, happy to do that here or as a follow-up if preferred.
Tests: parametrized rendering tests in
test_pod_template_file.pycovering tag-only, digest-only, digest precedence over tag, and thedefaultAirflowDigestfallback.flower_imagehas the same gap; I'd address it separately if wanted.Was generative AI tooling used to co-author this PR?
