Summary
This blog post discusses a specific issue encountered when deploying a multi-architecture image on a Kubernetes ARM64 node, where the node continued to use a cached AMD64 image despite updates. The author provides detailed commands to sync the image using Skopeo and explanations of the process to refresh the node's cache. By creating a temporary pod with a different image pull policy, the author successfully forces the Kubernetes system to pull the correct multi-architecture image, allowing for proper execution of the ARM64 binary.
