IMAGE UPDATE

New images are substituted for old ones in a Kubernetes cluster during image updates, and "clean dB" may also reset related providers and databases.

OVERVIEW

There are two ways to update an image in a Kubernetes cluster. The first method entails a simple image update while maintaining current configurations. The second deployment, "cleandb", involves a more involved procedure. It involves removing the Helm chart for a particular provider, erasing any related databases, reinstalling the Helm chart, and then upgrading the image. In essence, "cleandb" not only refreshes the image but also ensures that the environment is in a clean condition by configuring it with the most recent image and deleting any leftovers from the prior deployment. This method is useful when an update or configuration reset that goes beyond an image swap is required.
