Introduction to Crossplane and Simplifying Cloud Native Infrastructure Management
summary
Crossplane maps Kubernetes CRs to cloud APIs so clusters can provision real resources via providers and provider configs; demo shows an S3 bucket created in us-west-1 with ARN, region and tags returned in status and events. Providers install CRDs and controllers so provider adds CRDs and controllers and provider config uses a secret for AWS credentials. Compositions + XRDs produce high‑level APIs (example: EKS = VPC, SGs, IAM, node groups); functions run as pods to add conditional logic. Upbound marketplace hosts providers, configurations and functions.
