Building and Enabling APIs with Crossplane 1
summary
Shows how to use Crossplane with the AWS and Kubernetes providers plus a KSL function to create a single reusable composite API that accepts project name, VPC CRD, and region. The composition packages six subnets, IAM roles and policies, an EKS cluster with two nodes across AZs, a load balancer and application pods; applying a claim auto-creates the managed AWS and K8s resources and Crossplane reconciles deletions. Demo runs on Minikube and provisions the AWS VPC and the app successfully.
