Gabe from the Azure team.

VSIs? I'd love to understand this better.

The challenge I'm wrestling with is the smaller teams you're referencing -- the ones who can write the Kubernetes YAML for Ingress, HPAs -- they aren't representative of mainstream enterprise developers. More importantly, they're not representative of the millions of new developers who we need to empower with simpler code-to-cloud solutions that are also build on a layered, industry-standard foundation (e.g. Kubernetes).

How do we empower these new developers without separating concerns and reducing cognitive overhead around ops?
