Two containers started at different times using the same base image can perform differently or get different dependencies. - A better approach is to rebuild a new image version. You can do this with Distroless, but it's harder and requires multistage builds or similar to provide the new dependencies. - Debugging can be harder. - More specifically you need applications set up to properly expose information for debugging rather than rely on traditional debug approaches of connecting to processes or dumping memory. This can be an upfront cost versus a runtime cost but does shift left in the development process so hopefully is a reduction overall.
