I really like rocket, and technically you can build and push rkt images right now, though it would require a lot of rocket knowhow.
Briefly, you can run any container image as a build step with this service, including one that builds rocket containers, and including one that pushes them. But, we're not currently offering any direct support for this ability.

rkt supports running Docker Images[1], Open Container Initiative (OCI) Images[2], and appc images.
So, any container image this system builds will run under rkt.
rkt is explicitly designed as a container engine not as a container build system. And this is because build and execute are largely separate concerns. And it leaves the door open for new build systems as demonstrated here by Google.
