Getting to Know Crossplane
summary
Crossplane v1.11 is used as a Kubernetes control plane (on DigitalOcean K8s 1.26) to provision real cloud resources by configuring an Azure provider from a secret and letting Crossplane reconcile and create an Azure resource group. The talk covers using Terrajet (a Terraform bridge) so Terraform-managed resources appear in Crossplane, and explains Crossplane abstractions via CRDs—CompositeResourceDefinition with Composition mappings and Claims—to expose shared or namespace-scoped resources, including options to orphan on deletion. The demo shows multi-cloud provisioning and GitOps-style reconciliation in action.
