Chapter 6: More Crossplane Patterns

Following the previous chapter, we will continue to discover more Crossplane patterns that are key to building a state-of-the-art infrastructure automation platform. We will cover different topics, such as managing dependencies between resources, propagating secrets, using the Crossplane Helm provider, trade-off points in defining the XR API boundary, and monitoring the Crossplane control plane using Prometheus. Throughout the chapter, we will use examples with a hands-on journey to understand these concepts. We have been using GCP in all the previous chapters. In this chapter, we will use both GCP and AWS to learn Crossplane. Finally, we will learn more debugging skills, which are vital for day-to-day platform development and operations.

The following are the topics covered in the chapter:
