Description

I would like to create a bundle, have it deployed to an integration server, tested by testers, and only when they approve, the very same bundle needs to go to production.

I cannot currently do that, because bundling action is lumped together with deployment action.

Please create additional CLI options that allow one to run "create bundle" command, obtaining an artifact (probably .tar.gz) and a separate "deploy bundle" command, that will deploy the existing bundle file to a server of choice.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing CLI flow that currently combines bundling and deployment. Define separate "create bundle" and "deploy bundle" entry points, then verify that the same generated artifact can be deployed first to an integration server and later to production after approval.
