You can change this behaviour by setting default image registry in [container runtime](/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/) configuration.

Digests are a unique identifier for a specific version of an image. Digests are hashes of the image's content,
|
||||||
|
and are immutable. Tags can be moved to point to different images, but digests are fixed.

Image digests consists of a hash algorithm (such as `sha256`) and a hash value. For example:

`sha256:1ff6c18fbef2045af6b9c16bf034cc421a29027b800e4f9b68ae9b1cb3e9ae07`

Some image name examples that Kubernetes can use are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `busybox` - Image name only, no tag or digest. Kubernetes will use Docker public registry and latest tag. (Same as `docker.io/library/busybox:latest`)
|
||||||
|
- `busybox:1.32.0` - Image name with tag. Kubernetes will use Docker public registry. (Same as `docker.io/library/busybox:1.32.0`)
|
||||||
|
- `registry.k8s.io/pause:latest` - Image name with a custom registry and latest tag.
|
||||||
|
- `registry.k8s.io/pause:3.5` - Image name with a custom registry and non-latest tag.
|
||||||
|
- `registry.k8s.io/pause@sha256:1ff6c18fbef2045af6b9c16bf034cc421a29027b800e4f9b68ae9b1cb3e9ae07` - Image name with digest.
|
||||||
|
- `registry.k8s.io/pause:3.5@sha256:1ff6c18fbef2045af6b9c16bf034cc421a29027b800e4f9b68ae9b1cb3e9ae07` - Image name with tag and digest. Only digest will be used for pulling.
