+Note that the modification time of the files in the built image put by Jib will still be 1 second past the epoch. The file modification time can be configured using [`<container><filesModificationTime>`](../jib-maven-plugin#container-object) (Maven) or [`container.filesModificationTime`](../jib-gradle-plugin#container-closure) (Gradle).

 #### Please tell me more about reproducibility!
 
 _Reproducible_ means that given the same inputs, a build should produce the same outputs.  Container images are uniquely identified by a digest (or a hash) of the image contents and image metadata.  Tools and infrastructure such the Docker daemon, Docker Hub, registries, Kubernetes, etc) treat images with different digests as being different.
