GitLab deploys into multiple clouds from kubectl using Crossplane

This post details how GitLab is being deployed into multiple clouds using Crossplane, an open-source multicloud control plane. It explains how Crossplane extends the Kubernetes API to manage external managed services (Redis, PostgreSQL, object storage) for production deployments of GitLab. The post outlines the steps for cluster administrators to install Crossplane and provide managed services, and for application owners to provision these services using resource claims and deploy GitLab via the Kubernetes API.
