image

Overview ¶

Package image discovers container images inside rendered Kubernetes manifests by parsing string values, not by hard-coding a table of kinds and field names.

Every string value reachable in a manifest tree is fed through distribution/reference — the canonical OCI image reference parser used by Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes. A string is recognised as an image when it parses as a named reference AND carries either a tag or a digest, which excludes plain hostnames, paths, and version-only strings like "v1.2.3".

Because detection is purely value-based, new CRDs that embed image references are picked up automatically — no per-kind override list to maintain.
