Additional Notes
Consequences of not using immutable Docker images in microservices?

Topic: Microservice Architecture
Focus: Docker Containerization

Answer
Mutable images lead to inconsistent behavior.
Without immutability, changes to images can cause unexpected behavior across deployments. This could lead to different instances of a microservice behaving differently, creating hard-to-trace bugs. In an e-commerce system, if the product catalog service isn't immutable, a change in one instance might cause data inconsistency or crashes.
