By enabling you to provision, compose, and consume your infrastructure without having to write any code, Crossplane uses Managed Resources to extend beyond the capabilities of Kubernetes.

In this report, author Nic highlights:

  • What exactly Crossplane is
  • How a Crossplane control plane works
  • How to build a control plane with Crossplane
  • What you can build with Crossplane
