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
The presentation discusses the importance of security in DevOps and Kubernetes and provides tips on how to ensure secure software development and deployment.
Source code analysis tools such as OASP can help analyze source code and compiled versions of code to find security flaws
Validating the source of code, build system, and artifact pushers can ensure trusted software development and deployment
Vulnerability scanning with tools like Claire and Trivi can help identify known CVEs
Immutable dependencies and ephemeral builds can mitigate attacks on code dependencies and build infrastructures
Observability through metrics and logging can help audit user and privilege changes and security events

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.

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
