Overview

Crossplane is an open source Kubernetes add-on that enables platform teams to assemble infrastructure from multiple vendors, and expose higher level self-service APIs for application teams to consume.

Organizatorium


Crossplane enables applications and infrastructure configuration to co-exist in the same control plane.

Control planes built with Crossplane integrate with CI/CD pipelines, so team can create, track and approve changes using GitOps best practices.

Control Plane

What is a control plane?

Control planes are self-healing, they automatically correct drift.

Control planes offer a single point of control for policy and permissions.

Control planes integrate easily with other systems because they expose an API, not just a command line.


Crossplane can be used to design ad implement a control plane that expose declarative APIs tailored to your unique orchestration needs.

Provider

A provider extends Crossplane to orchestrate new kinds of applications and infrastructure.

Configuration

A configuration extends Crossplane to expose new APIs.
