Then we explained that developers are looking for a simplified workflow for easy development with Kubernetes. Later in the chapter, we showed that developers are not Kubernetes experts, and they should be equipped with tools such as Skaffold to improve their development experience with Kubernetes.

In this chapter, the main goal was to give you a walk-through of developers' problems while developing container-native applications. After reading this, you should be able to relate to these issues, and at the same time, I have given you hints about how Skaffold can help solve these...
