Kubernetes image volumes

[trexx]

Tell us more.

Since Kubernetes 1.35, we are now able to mount containers as image volumes in a pod. For example this means you can package a static website separately from the http server.
Renovate currently is able to bump and identify the pod image, but not the image volume. Could image-volumes be treated the same way? Pinning, etc.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: image-volume
spec:
  containers:
  - name: shell
    command: ["sleep", "infinity"]
    image: debian
    volumeMounts:
    - name: volume
      mountPath: /volume
  volumes:
  - name: volume
    image:
      reference: quay.io/crio/artifact:v2
      pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
