Book description
Control planes provide an increasingly popular approach to orchestrating an organization's cloud infrastructure and applications. Crossplane, a low-code Kubernetes-based framework, takes you a step further. While cloud control planes generally have backends that orchestrate the data plane and frontends that expose an API, Crossplane takes the Kubernetes control plane and makes both its backend and frontend highly extensible.
In this report, author Nic Cope explains how Crossplane's backend empowers developers to safely and efficiently build a control plane to orchestrate any application or infrastructure. With Crossplane, you can extend the backend to control any kind of system and extend the frontend APIs to expose whatever concepts make sense for your organization. This report shows you how.
You will:
- Learn the benefits of building control planes —and cloud control planes —with Crossplane
- Discover how Crossplane helps you drive the data plane toward the desired state, protect the data plane, and make it reliably available
- Explore methods for building your cloud control plane using Crossplane
- Learn how Crossplane helps product engineers perform their regular tasks safely and more efficiently
