Do Pega Docker Images with the same tag got updated regularly? Either in pega-docker.downloads or public docker hub
By checking the tag list of the Pega Platform - https://pega-docker.downloads.pega.com/v2/platform/pega/tags/list
I got the following:
{
"name": "platform/pega",
"tags": [
"8.2.6",
"8.2.7",
"8.2.8",
"8.23.0",
"8.3.2",
"8.3.3",
"8.3.4",
"8.3.5",
"8.3.6",
"8.4.0",
"8.4.1",
"8.4.2",
"8.4.3",
"8.4.4",
"8.4.5",
"8.4.6",
"8.5.1",
"8.5.2",
"8.5.3",

My question is, are these images being updated regularly by Pega? E.g., if I pull the image with tag 8.8.2 3 months ago, and then I pull the image with the same tag again, will the contents of the image change? Specially, will any of the underlying packages in the image change?
I also took a look at https://hub.docker.com/r/pegasystems/pega/tags, and saw that the last pushed for pretty much all tags was within the last 24 hours:

@TerenceY0215 The images get updated over nightly. If I recall correctly, all the versions above 8.6 get updated daily.

@Raviteja_CH , to your point, are these images "built" and "updated" nightly for both the public Docker Hub, as well as pega-docker.downloads.pega.com?
In other words, even with the same tag, say 8.8.2, an image that I pull today can be different from the one I pulled two days ago?
I also came across this article on Github:
In the middle of the article, I saw this: 
Does Pega still tags these images with a date stamp?

I pulled 2 images yesterday afternoon:
- platform/pega:8.8.2
- platform/search:8.8.2
And this morning, I pulled the same images again. Here are the findings:
- pega:8.8.2 image was updated.
- search:8.8.2 image was not.
@Raviteja_CH , it looks like the update schedule is not consistent.
