Keynote: Crossplane Is the Answer! but What Is the Question?
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-06-10· at 09:24· Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I·
summary
Claim: Crossplane replaces scattered IaC by extending the Kubernetes API to provision infrastructure and applications declaratively, demonstrated by a static website demo where Crossplane alone wires cloud DNS, storage and compute end to end while Terraform/OpenTo required per-user rewrites. Integrates with Git + Argo CD for sync, Kyverno for policy enforcement, OpenReports for visibility and ChainGuard for supply chain trust. Highlights: Crossplane + Argo CD + Kyverno stack and Crossplane v2: native KResources, namespace scoping, environment configs
