Ugly Command Party Day 5

On the 5th of the ugly command party, the command I'll share is:

Ugly Command Name: List Images and Tags for Every Container in Running Pods

What does it do?

This command finds all running pods in the namespace and lists every image name and tag used with each container. It can also be easily modified to target failed pods or all pods in the namespace.

When would you use it?

This can be used as a quick way to sanity check your running images, or would be used an audit command, or as part of a CI process to validate that the desired image and tags are indeed Running.

What is the command?

Please view the GitHub Gist below to find the code snippet. Due to a limitation with LinkedIn, it does not accept some code in the code snippet and breaks the Article feature :-/
