PipeCD's components with roles

Basically, there are two types of users/roles that exist in the PipeCD system, which are:

• Developers/Production team: Users who use PipeCD to manage their applications’ deployments. You will interact with Piped and may or may not need to install Piped by yourself.
• Operators/Platform team: Users who operate the PipeCD for other developers can use it. You will interact with the Control Plane and Piped, you will be the one who installs the Control Plane and keeps it up for other Pipeds to connect while managing their applications’ deployments.
