Crossplane Intro and Deep Dive - The Cloud Native Control Plane Framework
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Friday, 2025-04-04· at 11:00· Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4·
summary
Crossplane v2 preview ships now and reworks scope and composition: composite resources (XRs) and managed resources become namespaced so apps, deployments, services and cloud resources can be composed and created directly in a namespace. Composition runs as a pipeline of pluggable functions (KCL, Python, Helm-style, Go) used in the demo to turn an app XR into a Deployment + Service; v2 remains backward compatible with v1 cluster-scoped legacy XR support and providers are adding namespaced managed resources. Also removed deprecated controller config and native patch.
