You could try and use ignoreChanges in the resource options

If I set that and I do make a change to the container will it get picked up?

Or do I keep that set until I need to make a change and then turn it off?

Are you sure it's unchanged, data and metadata? I had a problem with a zip changing every run because of timestamps

When you say "image", do you mean a container spec?

If so, you're probably running into canonicalization issues from your JSON.
