Crossplane is a cloud-native control plane that enables users to manage infrastructure and applications across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments.
- Crossplane manages resources outside of a Kubernetes cluster using APIs
- Crossplane has a high-fidelity provider section that allows for hundreds of configuration options
- Crossplane communicates with APIs using a two-way communication system
- Crossplane installs CRDs and controllers for groups of resources in Kubernetes clusters

Cloud breaches are becoming more sophisticated and attackers are learning about cloud-native tools and services. Real-time monitoring and trusted sources for images are critical for cloud security. Supply chain compromises and blind trust in dependencies are also major concerns.
- Real-time monitoring is critical for detecting malicious activity using secrets
- Malicious images can be planted in public repositories and trusted sources should be used
- DDOS attacks are increasing and containers are being used to crowdsource participation
- Supply chain compromises and blind trust in dependencies can lead to major security issues
- Attackers are becoming more knowledgeable about cloud-native tools and services
- Crypto mining attacks are low effort and high reward, and their scale is expected to increase

Crossplane is a Kubernetes add-on that enables users to manage infrastructure across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments.
- Crossplane can manage any infrastructure in any environment.
- Crossplane represents cloud provider resources and infrastructure as objects in the Kubernetes API.
- Crossplane generates events that tell the story of the infrastructure.
- Crossplane uses the Kubernetes runtime, Kubernetes API Machinery, and the controller runtime to implement reconciliation of cloud provider resources.
- Crossplane is moving towards full graduation with the CNCF in early 2023.

Kubernetes is a cloud control plane that provides a standard interface for managing compute, network, and storage in any cloud or datacenter. It aims to deliver high-level capabilities on any underlying provider via the same consistent interfaces used for compute, network, and storage.
- Kubernetes API and custom resource definition emerged as an open standard for describing cloud infrastructure, services, and apps
- Paradigms and frameworks used to build and manage controllers for these resources
- Conventions emerging from projects like Crossplane and Operator Framework to provide consistency and simplicity for developers and operators of custom resources
- Common problems that Kubernetes resource providers must handle, such as publishing connection secrets and managing controller provisioning and updates

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
