Microsoft and Docker team up to make packaging cloud-native applications easier

CNAB makes reproducibility possible by providing unified lifecycle management, packaging, and distribution. Of course if bundle authors don't take care to work around problems with imperative logic, that's a risk. In practice, we see declarative models for building bundles offer more reproducibility.

For example, see how you can build a CNAB using a Terraform base image: https://github.com/deislabs/bundles/tree/master/terraform

Yeah. I read through some of those existing configs and I see how it works now. My first instinct when I see `cnab/app/run install` is to think it's for installing the app, but now I see it's for provisioning / deploying to the environment. As soon as I think of install, uninstall as deploy, undeploy then it clicks for me.

We may want to discuss changing the keywords from install/uninstall to be deploy/uninstall if that helps signal to the user the intent behind those actions. That's great feedback, thank you!
