This talk looks at pre-requisites for using declaritive infrastructure as code based on the k8s API and then discusses the similarities and differences between Crossplane and the newly announced open source project Kro.
We look at challenges with Crossplane and the maturity of Kro to be used in production-like environments.
At the end of the talk the audience will have a better understanding of the different ecosystems and tools and will be curious to start looking at these tools.
Basic k8s knowledge on CRDs
- What options are available as k8s based Infrastructure as Code tooling?
- Crossplane vs. Kro differentiation
- Collaboration aspects of the different Open Source tools
