Why each option
In a DevOps framework, Platform Engineers are responsible for building and maintaining the tools and infrastructure that enable developer teams to achieve continuous delivery.
Application Users consume the software but are not involved in building or automating delivery tools.
Application Developers focus on writing application code, not on building the underlying delivery tools and platforms.
Platform Engineers focus on creating a robust and automated platform, including continuous delivery pipelines and tools, to empower application developers to deploy code efficiently and reliably.
Cluster Operators manage the operational aspects of a cluster, often focusing on infrastructure and uptime, but Platform Engineers typically provide the broader set of delivery tools.
