Flash forward a few years later, and Kubernetes is still painstakingly difficult for most organizations to manage. However, tools and platforms are emerging to make K8s easier for developers to do their development work with little or no knowledge of Kubernetes. These solutions are designed to also facilitate the tasks of operations folks who implement the necessary infrastructure in order to allow developers to do their work with a minimal amount of learning curve to get started creating applications that run on Kubernetes.
