• Reproducibility in software development pipelines and infrastructure is crucial for better security and transparency
• There are three levels of reproducibility: unscripted builds, repeatable builds, and rebuildable builds
• Rebuildable builds control all explicit inputs for a build and can produce an equivalent artifact that can be reproduced at any future point in time
• Achieving reproducible builds requires engineering effort and long-term storage, which can be costly for some organizations
