How it works?
Crossplane is an open-source Kubernetes extension that provisions and manages cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes-style APIs. Platform engineering and DevOps teams use it to standardize Infrastructure-as-Code workflows, enable self-service provisioning, and improve governance across multiple environments and cloud providers.
It typically runs inside a Kubernetes cluster and lets teams define higher-level “composite” resources that map to underlying managed services, then expose those abstractions to application teams through familiar Kubernetes tooling and CI/CD pipelines.
- Provision and manage cloud resources declaratively from Kubernetes
- Define reusable platform abstractions with compositions and policies
- Support multi-cloud and hybrid patterns through provider integrations
- Enable consistent self-service workflows with RBAC and GitOps-friendly APIs
Infrastructure-as-Code is a way for provisioning infrastructure by describing the state of the infrastructure you want to get as a program that can be interpreted and executed.
- With Infrastructure as Code, you can gain an insight into your infrastructure status swiftly, as it serves as a living document offering a snapshot of your systems' state and configuration.
- Infrastructure as Code allows you to improve your infrastructure using code itself, making the process of introducing new services, upgrading existing ones, or modifying configurations flexible and adaptable.
- Infrastructure as Code facilitates making system-wide modifications efficiently, ensuring consistency across your entire system and reducing error potential.
- Continuous integration principles from software development can be applied to your infrastructure management through Infrastructure as Code, enabling automation in testing and deployment of infrastructure changes.
- Infrastructure as Code enables you to provision entire systems from scratch quickly and reliably, proving to be advantageous in testing, development, and disaster recovery scenarios.
- Monitoring infrastructure state and implementing incremental changes is made possible with Infrastructure as Code, improving auditability and change management.
- By automating repetitive tasks and reducing manual intervention, Infrastructure as Code reduces potential human errors and increases efficiency.
- Infrastructure as Code enhances collaboration and transparency by serving as a common language understandable by both operations and development teams.
- Infrastructure as Code allows for the creation of standard templates for your infrastructure setup that can be used to replicate your environments consistently across different stages of the application lifecycle and multiple projects.
- Infrastructure as Code improves overall security posture and simplifies compliance auditing by allowing the incorporation of security configurations and compliance requirements directly into your infrastructure code.
Crossplane is an open-source Kubernetes extension that provisions and manages cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes-style APIs. It is used to standardize Infrastructure-as-Code workflows, enable self-service platform capabilities, and apply consistent governance across multi-cloud environments.
- Unifies infrastructure and application operations by managing cloud resources through familiar Kubernetes APIs and controllers.
- Enables platform engineering patterns with composite resources (XRs) that expose opinionated, reusable infrastructure abstractions to teams.
- Supports multi-cloud and hybrid deployments via providers for major clouds and services, reducing tooling sprawl across environments.
- Improves consistency with GitOps by declaring desired state in version control and reconciling changes continuously.
- Separates concerns between platform teams and application teams by defining managed resource compositions and exposing simplified claims.
- Integrates policy and governance through Kubernetes-native mechanisms such as RBAC, admission controls, and namespace isolation.
- Reduces drift with reconciliation loops that detect and correct infrastructure divergence from the desired state.
- Promotes repeatable provisioning with parameterized templates and compositions that encode best practices and guardrails.
- Extends Kubernetes with custom APIs for infrastructure domains, enabling standard tooling for validation, auditing, and lifecycle management.
Crossplane is a strong fit when Kubernetes is the operational control plane and teams want consistent, declarative provisioning across multiple clouds. Trade-offs include added operational complexity from running controllers and providers, plus a learning curve around compositions and Kubernetes API conventions.
Common alternatives include Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation; Crossplane is often chosen when Kubernetes-native APIs and continuous reconciliation are more important than standalone provisioning workflows. More details are available in the Crossplane documentation.
Our experience with Crossplane helped us build repeatable platform patterns, composition libraries, and operational runbooks that make cloud infrastructure provisioning consistent through Kubernetes APIs, with clearer governance, reliability, and cost control across environments.
Some of the things we did include:
- Deployed and upgraded Crossplane control planes on production Kubernetes clusters, including version pinning, safe rollout procedures, and backup/restore considerations for configuration state.
- Standardized provider setup and credentials for AWS, Azure, and GCP, aligning provider configs with least-privilege IAM and clear separation between environments and tenants.
- Authored Composite Resource Definitions (XRDs) and Compositions to expose opinionated “platform APIs” (databases, buckets, queues, networks) with sensible defaults and guardrails for application teams.
- Implemented GitOps delivery for Crossplane packages, providers, and configurations using Argo CD, including promotion flows (dev/stage/prod) and drift detection.
- Integrated Crossplane provisioning into CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, adding validation gates, policy checks, and controlled rollouts for composition changes.
- Hardened Crossplane runtime security with RBAC, namespace isolation, secret management practices, and restricted network egress to provider APIs where required.
- Established observability for controllers and managed resources using Prometheus, including alerts for reconciliation failures, provider throttling, and composition errors.
- Designed multi-tenant patterns (separate claims, compositions, and provider configs) to safely support multiple teams on shared clusters without cross-environment leakage.
- Planned and executed staged migrations from Terraform workflows to Crossplane, including resource ownership strategies, import constraints, and rollback plans to reduce risk.
- Tuned reliability and performance by addressing noisy diffs, reducing reconciliation churn, setting resource requests/limits for controllers, and handling provider API rate limits.
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across Crossplane use-cases—from platform API design and GitOps delivery to day-2 operations—and enables us to deliver high-quality Crossplane setups that are secure, observable, and maintainable for clients.
Some of the things we can help you do with Crossplane include:
- Assess your current Infrastructure-as-Code and Kubernetes platform readiness, delivering a clear review report with risks, gaps, and recommendations.
- Create an adoption roadmap for managing cloud resources via Kubernetes-style APIs, including team operating model and rollout milestones.
- Design and implement Crossplane compositions, providers, and claims to standardize infrastructure provisioning across environments.
- Integrate Crossplane with GitOps workflows and CI/CD so infrastructure changes are versioned, reviewed, and safely promoted.
- Establish security and compliance guardrails (RBAC, policy controls, and least-privilege provider credentials) to reduce blast radius.
- Optimize cost and reliability by enforcing tagging/ownership, right-sizing patterns, and lifecycle controls for managed resources.
- Implement observability and operational playbooks for Crossplane reconciliation, drift detection, and incident response.
- Troubleshoot provider issues, composition failures, and reconciliation loops to restore stable, predictable provisioning.
- Enable your teams with hands-on training, reference templates, and platform documentation to accelerate self-service adoption.
