 To connect a repository when publishing an image from the command line, and to ensure your `GITHUB_TOKEN` has appropriate permissions when using a GitHub Actions workflow, we recommend adding the label `org.opencontainers.image.source` to your `Dockerfile`.

 ## Pulling container images
+## CI/CD tagging strategy for multi-environment deployments
+
+A consistent tagging strategy helps trace container images back to their source commits, simplify environment promotion, and improve rollback reliability.
+
+### Recommended tag scheme
+
+Apply multiple tags to the same image digest during each build so deployments can reference images by stability level or exact provenance.
+
+| Tag pattern | Example | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| Commit SHA (short) | `sha-a1b2c3d` | Immutable reference suitable for production rollbacks |
+| Branch name | `main`, `release-1.4` | Mutable tag that tracks the latest build for a branch |
+| Semantic version | `v1.4.2` | Human-readable release version |
+| Environment label | `staging`, `production` | Alias used during environment promotion workflows |
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Avoid relying solely on the `latest` tag in automated deployment pipelines. Because `latest` is mutable, it does not provide reliable traceability between deployments and source revisions.
+
+### Applying multiple tags in a GitHub Actions workflow
+
+Use the `docker/metadata-action` action to generate image tags automatically from Git context and pass them to `docker/build-push-action`.
+```yaml
+{% data reusables.actions.actions-not-certified-by-github-comment %}
+
+jobs:
+  build-and-push:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    permissions:
+      contents: read
+      packages: write
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Check out repository
+        uses: {% data reusables.actions.action-checkout %}
+
+      - name: Log in to the Container registry
+        uses: docker/login-action@65b78e6e13532edd9afa3aa52ac7964289d1a9c1
+        with:
+          registry: ghcr.io
+          username: {% raw %}${{ github.actor }}{% endraw %}
+          password: {% raw %}${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}{% endraw %}
+
+      - name: Extract Docker metadata
+        id: meta
+        uses: docker/metadata-action@902fa8ecf8ec1ac25377c6f6f4d8d0623f8b3f5f
+        with:
+          images: ghcr.io/{% raw %}${{ github.repository }}{% endraw %}
+          tags: |
+            type=sha,prefix=sha-,format=short
+            type=ref,event=branch
+            type=semver,pattern={{version}}
+
+      - name: Build and push Docker image
+        uses: docker/build-push-action@3b5e8027fcad23fda98b5c0ddc7d1f9d7d8d4f3b
+        with:
+          context: .
+          push: true
+          tags: {% raw %}${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}{% endraw %}
+          labels: {% raw %}${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}{% endraw %}
+```
+All tags generated during the workflow reference the same image digest. This allows deployments to promote existing images between environments without rebuilding the container image.
+
+### Verifying tag-to-digest traceability
+
+After pushing an image, you can verify that multiple tags reference the same digest.
+
+```bash
+docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/NAMESPACE/IMAGE_NAME:staging
+docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/NAMESPACE/IMAGE_NAME:sha-a1b2c3d
+```
+
+Replace `NAMESPACE` with the name of the personal account or organization to which the image is scoped.
+
+Both commands should report the same `Digest` value. If the digest values differ, the tags reference different image versions.
