When a node needs to run a pod, it must first download the entire container image from a registry — every layer, every byte — before the container can start. For large images (multi-gigabyte database or ML images), this cold-start latency can range from tens of seconds to several minutes, severely impacting deployment velocity and autoscaling responsiveness.</p>
