Keynote: Crossplane Is the Answer! but What Is the Question? - Amit Dsouza, Odyssey Cloud & Cortney Nickerson, Nirmata
Tuesday June 10, 2025 09:24 - 09:34 HKT
Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I
Why consider Crossplane when so many IaC tools exist—Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Config Connector, and KRO? What unique challenges does it solve, and is it always the right choice?
Join Cortney & Amit as they explore why Crossplane is gaining traction, not just as an IaC tool but as a Platform Engineering enabler. Learn how Crossplane extends the Kubernetes API to manage both infrastructure and applications declaratively, empowering platform teams.
Beyond provisioning, security and compliance are critical. Discover how the Crossplane + ArgoCD + Kyverno stack enables GitOps-driven automation, ensuring deployments align with organizational compliance and security policies.
Through real-world use cases, we’ll explore:
Where does Crossplane fit among IaC tools?
When is Crossplane NOT the right choice?
How can it enable scalable, self-service platforms?
How does it integrate with ArgoCD & Kyverno for GitOps and security?
