Crossplane Intro And Deep Dive - The Cloud Native Control Plane Framework
summary
Crossplane is a Kubernetes-native control plane framework that exposes cloud resources as Kubernetes API objects and ships a v1.10 release while targeting CNCF graduation. It composes provider-managed resources via XRDs and Compositions, supports provider generation from Terraform, runs packages as OCI-based composition functions (alpha planned for v1.11) to allow programmatic composition, and adds safer deletion paths (simulated foreground cascading, ownerRef fixes) to reduce stuck managed resources. A community-run Marketplace lists providers and packages so platform teams can bundle reusable platform APIs.
