Building Platform Infrastructure with Crossplane
Use Crossplane to provision and manage cloud infrastructure through Kubernetes-native APIs.
Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to build a platform infrastructure layer using Crossplane.
You'll learn to:
- Install Crossplane and configure providers
- Create Composite Resource Definitions (XRDs) for platform APIs
- Build Compositions for infrastructure provisioning
- Deploy infrastructure using Kubernetes-native workflows
- Manage multi-cloud resources through unified APIs
Crossplane enables platform engineers to build custom APIs that abstract cloud complexity and provide self-service infrastructure to development teams.
What You'll Learn
Install Crossplane in a Kubernetes cluster
Configure cloud providers for Crossplane
Create XRDs and Compositions for platform APIs
Deploy infrastructure using Crossplane resources
