I realized that my answer might not fully explain things, and may have conflated the top level "latest" tag with "daily/latest", so let me explain the different images in a little more detail. There are two "latest" images: the latest daily and the latest release image. In both cases, "latest" is just a symlink to something: either the latest daily image or the latest release image. The release images are no different from the daily images, so there's no actual notion of building a release image; all images are build every day as part of the daily pipeline, and any given daily image build is a candidate to be tagged as a release image. noah
