Description of the change

Making image pullPolicy optional, so that default K8s behavior is honored. This change leaves the pullPolicy unset by default and allows Kubernetes to apply its tag-based default behavior ('Always' for latest, 'IfNotPresent' for other tags).

This change should improve startup times as it will not query the container image registry every time, if not necessary. Leaving the pullPolicy unset gives users the expected, standard behavior.

Additional Information

Based on documentation provided - https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/images/#image-pull-policy

LGTM. I think the failing tests should pass once #284 is merged.
