Summary
This chapter discussed the details of limitations with IaC. We also looked at why it is inevitable to move toward a control plane automation in the evolving world of software engineering. It brings us to the end of the first part of this book. In summary, part one covered how Kubernetes won the war on application deployment automation and how the same pattern is evolving a new trend in infrastructure automation. The upcoming sections of the book will take us on a hands-on journey to learn Crossplane, Kubernetes configuration management, and ecosystem tools. We also will cover the different nuances and building blocks of developing state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure automation platforms with Crossplane.
In the next chapter, we will learn about automating infrastructure with Crossplane.
