Docker: proper tags or deprecate?

[dacbd]

add additional tags to help users better pin their ci/cd processes to known/tested versions. /an immutable tag?

• provide docker image(s) dvc#2774
• Request: provide versioned docker images in ghcr/dockerhub #1086
• CML docker version tagging #217

Yes. Sounds like we need an epic to improve packaging.

or drop completely due to:

• they are not intended for production, just for examples (and we can shift our examples to other images, e.g. nvidia/cuda, tensorflow/tensorflow, NGC etc.)
• complexity of production maintenance is high¹²
• we already have setup actions on GH
• we already have easy-to install binary packages on other platforms

On the immutable tag front, while not pointing users directly to the option I feel it is a small lift to additionally tag images with the commit-ish or full commit hash that triggered the build.
