So cue cmd also built the image, authenticated to a private registry, pushed the image, authenticated to the private Kubernetes cluster, and ran kubectl apply?

No, that’s why I said deploy. All it does is run kubectl apply and kubectl rollout status.

Only those are directly tied to the data in CUE. there’s not much advantage to running other commands with it. You can run arbitrary processes with cue cmd though.

Yeah but that's kinda my point. OK you can write policy to control the Kubernetes configuration with CUE. What about policy to control the Dockerfile, let alone the policy to control the cloud infrastructure? No? So the Security folk writing policy need to learn two languages - one for general-purpose policy, plus CUE specifically for Kubernetes manifests? Why not write the policy for Kubernetes manifests in the general-purpose language they're using for the rest of the policy? And so on and so forth, which make CUE's value proposition dubious in the enterprise.
