What if you need to release a hot fix and your image is 1Gb?

1. I push a hotfix to GitHub. 2. Jenkins (which is on Google Cloud) builds it, and it already has all the Docker steps cached from previous builds, so it's fast. 3. Jenkins pushes the image to Google Cloud repo, which is almost instantaneous 4. Kubernetes (also on Google Cloud) pulls the image and makes a new deployment

No big deal. :)

And this is why we need a better image format so that people don't cripple their images to get around the misuse of tar archives.
