Hey guys/gals, is there away to periodically update deployments (kubernetes)? basically pull a new "latest" image and deploy.

Personally, I never use the latest tag, rather, i use a specific version and then update that (in config)
That way, I can be sure that I'm using the same tested version each time
NOTE: This workflow is a work-in-progress, not in production yet :)

no i get it, i was thinking the same thing. use a specific tag as a config variable to then run `pulumi up -y`

i was just hoping there was a feature i had missed to "refresh" deployments

There are use-cases where I think using a `latest` is ok. As an example, I have a report that is a static set of files, build as part of an nginx container image. I can simply trigger a rolling update and get `latest` image.

Here is an SO article that gives a whole bunch of options, including patching the contain image name with a new buildId-based tag.

This is certainly easy.
```kubectl rollout restart deployment/demo```
