Plays Well with Others: Composability for Cloud Native Applications
summary
A Kubernetes extension called Crossplane v0.2 turns cloud services into Kubernetes custom resources with active controllers, supporting AWS Azure GCP, and provisions real services (databases, buckets, Redis). A concrete proof: a portable GitLab deployment (4,800 lines of YAML, 14 Deployments, 16 ConfigMaps) is refactored into resource claims and classes so the demo provisions nine buckets and Postgres/Redis across clouds automatically; controllers reconcile state and the deployment completes successfully. Future work targets more providers and richer lifecycle APIs.
