Crossplane - Unifying Cloud Service Provisioning and Management - Mirantis Labs Tech Talks

Explore the power of Crossplane, an open-source infrastructure as code project, in this 36-minute tech talk by Mirantis Labs. Discover how Crossplane transforms multi-cloud management by enabling unified service provisioning across cloud providers. Learn how developers can define and compose cloud services directly from Kubernetes, creating a universal control plane. Witness a live demonstration of Crossplane's integration with Lens and Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK), showcasing its ability to simplify cloud service management. Gain insights into building custom control planes, managing resources, and leveraging Crossplane to model complex applications and infrastructure as declarative configurations. Equip yourself with knowledge to implement a more efficient and scalable multi-cloud strategy using Crossplane.
