Crossplane: Build and Manage Infrastructure using Kubernetes
summary
Crossplane runs as a Kubernetes add‑on (installed via Helm) and uses provider packages to expose cloud CRDs; the demo installs aws provider v0.27.0, creates a VPC, subnet, internet gateway, route table, security group and an EC2 instance from YAML and kubectl, and authenticates via a Kubernetes secret. Managed resources map 1:1 to AWS services, default instance type is m1.small if omitted, and the controller reconciles deleted EC2 by recreating it demonstrating continuous drift correction.
