How Customer Success matters in Product Led growth
summary
Argues that sharing pain points with customer success produces product signals that become features: an operator to replace Halyard, a long-term move toward Cleat, and a GA Armory Agent that embeds native kubectl libraries to scale to hundreds–thousands of clusters. Describes an open extensibility framework with plugins (Pulumi example), provisioning management that accepts Terraform/Pulumi, pipelines-as-code/CRD/managed templates, a security SIG and vulnerability process that tracks CVEs in each release, and a SaaS/PaaS effort for one-click installs.
