Crossplane Intro & Deep Dive - Compose Your Custom Cloud Platform

Crossplane is a highly extensible framework for building universal control planes that can manage any API out of the world. It allows users to compose resources from providers together and define control plans declarative APIs and abstractions.

• Crossplane is a framework for building universal control planes
• It is highly extensible and allows users to manage any API out of the world
• Providers and configurations are the two sides of Crossplane
• Providers are used to build and manage cloud resources
• Configurations are used to compose resources from providers together and define control plans declarative APIs and abstractions
• The ecosystem is growing and more people are starting to use Crossplane

The speaker demonstrated how easy it is to implement a new resource in one of their providers by adding a resource to the configurator. They created a custom type subnet group for elastic and applied the claim. The claim was created and they were able to use standard cube control commands over this resource.

The maintainers of Crossplane, a CNCF Incubating project, will lead this session that will introduce the project to new attendees, as well as dive into the finer details of Crossplane’s functionality and roadmap. We will explain how Crossplane enables you to compose cloud infrastructure and services into your custom platform APIs, and how best to get started building a platform of your own. We will take a tour through the key features included in the latest releases, what problems and use cases they are solving, and how you can adopt them into your control planes. Finally, there will be an interactive opportunity to engage with the maintainers, ask questions, and influence the future of the project direction.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
