You can specify theCHANGE-CAUSE message by\n\nAnnotating the Deployment with kubectl annotate deployment/nginx-deployment kubernetes.io/change-cause=\"image updated to 1.16.1\" Manually editing the manifest of the resource. Using tooling that sets the annotation automatically.\n\nIn older versions of Kubernetes, you could use the --record flag with kubectl commands to automatically populate the CHANGE-CAUSE field. This flag is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.\n\nTo see the details of each revision, run\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   kubectl rollout history deployment/nginx-deployment --revision=2\n```\n\nThe output is similar to this\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\n   deployments \"nginx-deployment\" revision 2\n     Labels:       app=nginx\n             pod-template-hash=1159050644\n     Containers:\n      nginx:\n       Image:      nginx:1.16.1\n       Port:       80/TCP\n        QoS Tier:\n           cpu:      BestEffort\n           memory:   BestEffort\n       Environment Variables:      <none>\n     No volumes.\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
