Crossplane Intro and Deep Dive - The Cloud Native Control Plane Framework - Jared Watts & Nic Cope, Upbound

Friday April 4, 2025 11:00 - 11:30 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4

The maintainers of the CNCF Crossplane project (https://www.crossplane.io/) will lead this session that will not only introduce the project to new attendees, but also dive deep into the details of Crossplane’s latest features, releases, and future direction. There is always something new to show off at Kubecon!

We will start with the basics on how Crossplane enables you to compose cloud infrastructure and services into custom platform APIs, and accelerate the journey of folks new to Crossplane to build a control plane of their own.

Then we will take a detailed tour through the key maturity investments we’ve been making and how to adopt them into your production ready platforms. Finally, as the project is now more than 5 years old, we will focus on the future direction of Crossplane and how we think we can take the project to the next level for the next 5 years. You won’t want to miss this chance to influence the future of Crossplane!
