Lab Overview

Learn how to evolve your platform using Crossplane Composition Functions building on the previous lab. This focused lab teaches functions through hands-on installation and practical implementation, covering S3 bucket arrays and sophisticated conditional logic for real platform scenarios.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply storage bucket XRD and understand its schema for arrays and features
  • Install composition functions manually (Go Templating, Auto Ready, Patch & Transform)
  • Understand Pipeline vs Resources mode in compositions
  • Build Go template logic for conditional S3 bucket configurations
  • Implement dynamic bucket arrays with range loops and indexing
  • Apply environment-based versioning (staging/prod only)
  • Configure tier-based intelligent tiering (premium tier)
  • Master debugging with trace commands for function pipeline troubleshooting
  • Test single bucket and multi-bucket claims with AWS Console verification
