  Garden is an open-source Kubernetes-native development and CI/CD platform.
  Garden Core, a declarative CLI and engine, models a project as a graph of
  Build, Deploy, Test, and Run actions powered by pluggable providers
  (kubernetes, local-kubernetes, container, exec, jib, helm, terraform,
  pulumi). Garden Cloud / Garden Enterprise add a hosted control plane for
  remote container builds, ephemeral preview environments, team dashboards,
  team-wide caching, secrets, RBAC, audit, and SSO. The CLI integrates with
  any CI system and IDE; teams use Garden to standardize how dev, preview,
  staging, and prod environments are built and deployed.
