Extending Kubernetes Scheduler for Multi-Cluster and Multi-Cloud Workloads
summary
Crossplane extends Kubernetes into a multi‑cloud control plane that provisions and reconciles AWS, Azure and GCP managed services via Crossplane CRDs/controllers and cloud provider secrets, models portability with resource classes and claims, and schedules workloads using cluster selectors (can also provision target clusters). Demo deploys WordPress and provisions RDS/Cloud SQL/MySQL instances across three clouds from a laptop, proving the workflow end‑to‑end. Project starts Jan 2018 and is early but functional.
