Chapter 3: Automating Infrastructure with Crossplane
It is time to stop being abstract about ideas and deep-dive into details. Starting with this chapter, we will go on a hands-on journey to implement what we have learned and explore different Crossplane concepts at the same time. Trying out the examples given in this book will ensure that we have the ideas and experience to practice modern infrastructure engineering in our day-to-day jobs. This chapter will specifically cover the detailed architecture of Crossplane and its out-of-the-box features.
The following are the topics covered in this chapter:
- Understanding Custom Resource Definitions and custom controllers
- Understanding the Crossplane architecture
- Installing Crossplane
- Installing and configuring providers
- Multiple provider configuration
- An example of POSTGRES provisioning
