What’s Included in the Training?
Infrastructure Provisioning Evolution
Understand the journey from manual processes to Configuration Management tools to Infrastructure as Code. Learn how Terraform revolutionized IaC with state management, modularity, and declarative syntax — and discover its limitations around reconciliation and native GitOps integration.
Kubernetes & Control Planes
Master what Kubernetes solved in container orchestration and how its reconciliation loop model works. Deep dive into Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and Controllers to understand how custom APIs enable powerful automation patterns.
Crossplane = Terraform + Kubernetes
Discover how Crossplane combines the best of Terraform’s declarative infrastructure with Kubernetes’ reconciliation model. Learn to build Kubernetes-native IaC with reconciled infrastructure provisioning, powerful abstractions, and API-driven infrastructure that’s GitOps and multi-cloud ready.
Getting Started
Get hands-on experience installing Crossplane in your cluster. Learn to install and configure Providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and set up ProviderConfig for authentication. Understand how this relates to the broader CRD and Controller ecosystem.
Core Concepts
Master the three pillars of Crossplane: Managed Resources for cloud-native resource management (like RDSInstance), Compositions for creating reusable infrastructure blueprints and custom XRs, and Claims for providing self-service abstractions that empower development teams.
Functions
Leverage Crossplane’s powerful transformation capabilities using Patch & Transform functions, Go Templating for dynamic configurations, and KCL (Kubernetes Configuration Language) for advanced policy and validation scenarios.
Build Providers
Learn when and how to build custom Crossplane Providers for your specific infrastructure needs. Understand the provider development lifecycle and best practices for extending Crossplane’s capabilities.
Crossplane v2 & Beyond
Explore the latest features in Crossplane v2 and understand how Crossplane fits into modern platform engineering strategies. Build future-ready internal platforms that scale with your organization’s cloud-native journey.
