Elevate Your Infrastructure - Exploring Crossplane's Full Potential
2025-02-03, 16:00–16:50, D.Aud (Main)

Crossplane (https://www.crossplane.io/) and its user experience has matured greatly over the years and there are now numerous layers you can interact with while designing and building your internal developer platform powered by Crossplane. Should you directly declare the cloud resources you want Crossplane to create, should you create developer friendly simplified abstractions on top, should you stick with YAML or use a more full featured high level programming language? We will explore each of these layers in further detail through live demos to understand and efficiently harness the capabilities and experience of each. This will be a broad tour through the possibilities offered by Crossplane, all of which lead to a reliable and robust control plane to manage everything in the cloud that your organization could need!
