Package and Deploy Crossplane Compositions
Package your Crossplane compositions into distributable Configuration Packages and deploy them across environments using container registries.
Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to package and distribute Crossplane platform abstractions using Configuration Packages.
You'll learn to:
- Create proper package directory structure with XRD and Composition files
- Understand Configuration Package contents vs runtime configuration
- Create crossplane.yaml metadata with provider dependencies
- Build OCI-compliant packages using Crossplane CLI
- Create GitHub Personal Access Token with write:packages scope
- Authenticate and push packages to GitHub Container Registry
- Extract and verify package contents
- Understand how Crossplane combines resources into package.yaml
- Deploy packages to fresh Kubernetes clusters
- Validate package installations and resource provisioning
This lab demonstrates real-world platform distribution patterns and prepares you for enterprise-scale platform management.
