Behavior

This command restarts the service without rebuilding it. The existing deployment image is reused. The command waits for the deployment to become healthy before completing.

Difference from redeploy

  • restart: Restarts the existing deployment (no build)
  • redeploy: Creates a new deployment from the same source (triggers a build)
