While there are other tools on the market that support similar actions, Outdated is the first standardized tool that will automatically tell customers when there's a container image update they need to install.
"At a high level, Outdated is a binary that runs on your workstation and interrogates the Kubernetes cluster, finds all the container images that are running with tags, and goes out to the associated container registries and finds the newer versions," Campbell explained.
The most compelling reason to use Outdated is increased security, but it was also created to give the user a straightforward way to understand if they're running the latest container images, with output color-coded as green (latest version), yellow (new version pending), and red (need to update).
Replicated today released its open source image version alert tool, called Outdated, to help cluster admins and operators actively determine if they're running the latest versions of container images and ensure a higher level of security and compliance.
"Instead of just deploying the latest version in a cluster, we determined the best solution is to always pin a specific version so you get reproducible deployments, and then you can decide what you want to do next," said Marc Campbell, CTO at Replicated.
