Crossplane as a cloud control plane

Crossplane, a modern control plane-based infrastructure automation platform built on Kubernetes, matches all the attributes required for the next evolution of infrastructure engineering. With Crossplane, we can assemble infrastructure from multiple cloud providers to expose them as a high-level API. These APIs can provide a universal experience across teams, irrespective of the underlying cloud vendor. While composing the APIs for the product team, the platform team can use different resource granularity to suit the organization’s structure. Such carefully crafted APIs for infrastructure automation will facilitate self-service, multi-persona collaboration with precise RBAC, less cognitive load, continuous drift management, and dependency management with asynchronous reconciliation. Above all, the platform team can compose these APIs in a no-code way with configurations. Finally, we can have a lean platform team, as highly recommended by modern...
