Multi-Cloud Control Plane

1 post · Dec 2018

What this trail covers

Crossplane aims to simplify multi-cloud strategy by introducing workload resource abstractions on top of existing managed services and cloud offerings to enable workload portability across cloud providers. This aims to provide a universal API for cloud computing and a control plane for smart controllers that can work across clouds, enabling a separation of concerns between developers and administrators.

  1. Crossplane lowers the barrier to a multi-cloud futureThis post introduces Crossplane, an open-source multi-cloud control plane sponsored by Upbound. It aims to provide workload portability across cloud providers by introducing resource abstractions on top of managed services. The post compares Crossplane to existing tools like Terraform and AWS Service Operator, highlighting Crossplane's flexibility in supporting workload portability across multiple clouds. GitLab is highlighted as the first complex app to be deployed with Crossplane.
