Developers and Kubernetes pros don’t speak the same language. When developers say “deployments,” they don’t mean a Kubernetes object that manages the desired state of a set of replicas of a pod. But Kubernetes DevOps pros might think they mean just that.

Doing this requires thinking about the data model in the software catalog and about what data developers need and want.
