kbld (pronounced: kei·bild) seamlessly incorporates image building and image pushing into your development and deployment workflows.

Features:

• Orchestrates image builds (delegates to tools like Docker) and registry pushes
• Works with local Docker daemon and remote registries, for development and production cases
• Records metadata about image sources in annotation on Kubernetes resources (see examples below)
• Resolves image references to their digest form (immutable) (details)
• Provides a way to transport set of images in a single tarball between registries
  • maintaining exactly same digests, hence guaranteeing exactly same content
• Not specific to Kubernetes, but works really well with Kubernetes configuration files

See building and deploying simple Go application to Kubernetes example that uses kbld.
