I'm using K8s on GCP.

Here is my deployment file

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: simpleapp-direct
  labels:
    app: simpleapp-direct
    role: backend
    stage: test
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: simpleapp-direct
      version: v0.0.1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: simpleapp-direct
        version: v0.0.1
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: simpleapp-direct
          image: gcr.io/applive/simpleapp-direct:latest
          imagePullPolicy: Always

I first apply the deployment file with kubectl apply command

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml 

The pods were created properly.

I was expecting that every time I would push a new image with the tag latest, the pods would be automatically killed and restart using the new images.

I tried the rollout command

kubectl rollout restart deploy simpleapp-direct

The pods restart as I wanted.

However, I don't want to run this command every time there is a new latest build. How can I handle this situation ?.

Thanks a lot
