Thanks for sharing those details, great to have more insight into the process.

In my case the Distelli agent does live inside the "container", because I'm using SmartOS instances and not Docker containers. It handles deployment, and monitors processes of the apps when I'm not using an SMF.

I'm not sure how Distelli's K8s orchestration works, that functionality is more recent. In my case, the lifecycle details are in the manifest in the app repo, which is just a YAML where each lifecycle section is a bash script. App builds are just tarballs in S3. So there's not much to the deployment process.
