Crossplane is a Kubernetes-native, CNCF project for building cloud-native control planes without writing a custom control-plane implementation. Its extensible backend orchestrates applications and infrastructure across environments through declarative APIs, while its configurable frontend lets platform teams define schemas for internal infrastructure abstractions.
It manages provider-backed managed resources (MRs), composite resources (XRs), and Compositions that package collections of infrastructure resources behind simpler interfaces. Kubernetes reconciliation continuously works toward the declared state through provider APIs, and custom functions can be developed as reusable building blocks within compositions.
4 uses taken from transcripts — each links to the moment in the video.
It manages Kubernetes compositions, composite resources (XRs), and managed resources (MRs) for provisioning and configuring infrastructure. The discussion focuses on resource scope and deletion behavior in Crossplane v2.
A Kubernetes-native framework for managing cloud infrastructure through declarative managed resources that continuously reconcile desired state with provider APIs. The video also shows Crossplane Compositions being used to package those resources behind simpler internal developer platform interfaces.
A Kubernetes-based infrastructure platform discussed for composing and provisioning cloud resources. The speakers also discuss splitting large compositions into reusable building blocks and custom functions.
Provides the curated internal cloud API and control plane for compliant infrastructure abstractions, compositions, and reconciliation.
