About:
Crossplane is an open-source Kubernetes add-on that enables platform teams to assemble control planes from multiple providers and expose higher-level abstractions as portable APIs. It allows you to define infrastructure as declarative API objects, bridging the gap between application developers and infrastructure management without writing custom controllers.
Key Features:
  • Declarative infrastructure management using Kubernetes CRDs
  • Composable architecture with provider extensions for AWS, Azure, GCP, and more
  • Portable application configurations across different cloud providers
  • Self-service infrastructure platform for development teams
  • Extension model for defining custom building blocks and abstractions
Use Cases:
  • Building internal developer platforms (IDPs) for self-service infrastructure
  • Managing multi-cloud infrastructure through a single Kubernetes control plane
  • Creating portable application stacks that work across different cloud providers
  • Standardizing infrastructure provisioning across development teams
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform is imperative and CLI-driven, while Crossplane provides Kubernetes-native declarative management with GitOps workflows
  • Pulumi – Pulumi uses general-purpose programming languages, while Crossplane uses Kubernetes YAML and CRDs for infrastructure definition
  • AWS CloudFormation – CloudFormation is AWS-specific, while Crossplane is cloud-agnostic and multi-provider
