Educates extension packages are installed via vendir, so that they are pulled from within the container image. For big extensions this might be a problem as startup would take longer time, as vendir would not use containerd caches (if configured on the platform) or any other caching/pull-through mechanism.
Describe the solution you'd like
Starting in kubernetes 1.33, Image volumes is in Beta and enabled by default, which means we can use the same cluster mechanisms to pull the images/extensions, benefiting from things like PullPolicy, as well as image proxies/pull-through and registries authentication mechanisms.
