It simplifies how you develop, build, test, push, and deploy container-based applications to multiple environments (such as local dev, test, staging, and production).

Typically, if you're developing a container-based application for Kubernetes, and you want to test how it will behave in the target environment, you need to do multiple tasks, such as building the image, pushing it to a registry, configuring manifests for each target, and deploy.
