Crossplane: Deploy Your Cloud Components from Your K8S Cluster
summary
Crossplane extends Kubernetes with CRDs and controllers to provision and manage cloud resources from YAML, claiming CNCF graduation and a 2.0 release with automatic drift reconciliation. The demo uses the provider-aws pointed at LocalStack as the AWS endpoint to create and tag S3 buckets, shows reconciliation restoring changed tags, and demonstrates importing existing S3 buckets by switching managementPolicy from observe to manage; provider configuration can use secrets or managed identities and resource state is kept in the Kubernetes etcd cluster state.
