Key benefits

  • Leverage Crossplane and Kubernetes for a unified automation experience of infrastructure and apps
  • Build a modern self-service infrastructure platform abstracting recipes and in-house policies
  • Clear guidance on trade-offs to manage Kubernetes configuration and ecosystem tools

Description

In the last few years, countless organizations have taken advantage of the disruptive application deployment operating model provided by Kubernetes. With Crossplane, the same benefits are coming to the world of infrastructure provisioning and management. The limitations of Infrastructure as Code with respect to drift management, role-based access control, team collaboration, and weak contract make people move towards a control-plane-based infrastructure automation, but setting it up requires a lot of know-how and effort. This book will cover a detailed journey to building a control-plane-based infrastructure automation platform with Kubernetes and Crossplane. The cloud-native landscape has an overwhelming list of configuration management tools that can make it difficult to analyze and choose. This book will guide cloud-native practitioners to select the right tools for Kubernetes configuration management that best suit the use case. You'll learn about configuration management with hands-on modules built on popular configuration management tools such as Helm, Kustomize, Argo, and KubeVela. The hands-on examples will be patterns that one can directly use in their work. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with building a modern infrastructure automation platform to unify application and infrastructure automation.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud architects, platform engineers, infrastructure or application operators, and Kubernetes enthusiasts who want to simplify infrastructure and application automation. A basic understanding of Kubernetes and its building blocks like Pod, Deployment, Service, and Namespace is needed before you can get started with this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand the context of Kubernetes-based infrastructure automation
  • Get to grips with Crossplane concepts with the help of practical examples
  • Extend Crossplane to build a modern infrastructure automation platform
  • Use the right configuration management tools in the Kubernetes environment
  • Explore patterns to unify application and infrastructure automation
  • Discover top engineering practices for infrastructure platform as a product

Having read through about half this book now, I believe I can confidently say that this is a great resource for getting started with Cloudplane.The book is well suited for different skill levels, starting with a brief introduction to kubernetes, the specific problems it can solve, and the benefits of using kubernetes. It then repeats a similar pattern for cloudplane.I found the "workshop" style setup easy to follow, and did a great job of building from the basics of cloudplane up to the advanced patterns that average users should actually be using. This is a breath of fresh air for me, because having tried to learn crossplane from the official documentation, I quickly found my self confused and overwhelmed as I was unable to figure out where to get started.I also loved that all the examples in the book are available on github, with links provided inline in the example!I think that any organization that wants to implement crossplane could benefit from having this book in their developer library, and anyone who prefers programming books to reading online documetation would enjoy this book too,
