Skaffold is an open-source Google Container tool that provides a toolkit for creating CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes applications. It simplifies the process of building container images, pushing them to registries, and deploying them to Kubernetes clusters. Skaffold monitors source code changes and automatically builds, pushes, and deploys container images. It supports local development workflows as well as deployments to remote clusters. Skaffold improves developer productivity by separating business logic from platform operations management.
