Great article, thanks for writing it.

> I’m curious about looking into kustomize, but the package management/rollback capabilities of helm are quite nice; is there a good “pre-baked” solution for that that doesn’t involve helm?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm only really familiar with helm, kustomize and ksonnet at this point, and of the three only helm took the approach of running a server-side stateful thing that could take responsibility for pseudo-resources called releases. I haven't followed work on the next version closely, but it will be interesting to see what changes as they ditch the client-server architecture. I assume it will be more like terraform with some sort of state file.

Rollbacks for us basically mean go back and redeploy the last good ref. The pipeline is completely deterministic from the commit. The underlying build system that produced the container might not be, but we don't have to rebuild that since it's still sitting in the registry.
