Introduction to Crossplane

Abstract

Crossplane is an open-source project that allows the management of any cloud resource via the Kubernetes API. It’s become a key component in the field of platform engineering.
In this talk we’ll provide an overview of Crossplane, spanning Managed Resources, Providers, Composition Function pipelines, Authentication, and integration with systems like ArgoCD and Flux.
During this overview we’ll demonstrate code how to define and validate internal new platform APIs, assembling infrastructure components, handling secrets, and creating functions in the language of your choice.
