Lightning Talk: Notes from Crossplane Newbs - Jeremy Tanner & Gianluca Arbezzano, Equinix
summary
New users spend a week testing Crossplane and report concrete takeaways: it is a Kubernetes add‑on that acts as a cross‑cloud control plane and continuously reconciles cloud resources via a reconciliation loop, with existing providers: AWS GCP Equinix Metal and others. Setup uses Kubernetes (kind/docker), kubectl and install via Helm into a management cluster or use Upbound hosted control plane. Expect to write YAML (no custom operator) and beware zombie resources that reappear if deleted outside Crossplane.
