End to End Automation with Kubernetes and Crossplane

This is the code repository for End to End Automation with Kubernetes and Crossplane, published by Packt.

Develop a control plane-based platform for unified infrastructure, services, and application automation

What is this book about?

In the last few years, countless organizations have taken advantage of the disruptive app deployment operating model provided by Kubernetes. With the launch of Crossplane, the same benefits are coming to the world of infrastructure provisioning and management. The limitations of Infrastructure as Code with respect to drift management, role-based access control, team collaboration, and weak contract are making people move toward control-plane-based infrastructure automation, but setting it up requires a lot of know-how and effort.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Understand the context of Kubernetes-based infrastructure automation
• Get to grips with Crossplane concepts with the help of practical examples
• Extend Crossplane to build a modern infrastructure automation platform
• Use the right configuration management tools in the Kubernetes environment
• Explore patterns to unify application and infrastructure automation
• Discover top engineering practices for infrastructure platform as a product

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter03.

A block of code is set as follows:

# List all resources
kubectl api-resources

# List resources in the "apps" API group
kubectl api-resources --api-group=apps

# List resources in the "networking.k8s.io" API group
kubectl api-resources --api-group=networking.k8s.io

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

% kubectl get all -n crossplane-system
helm delete crossplane --namespace crossplane-system
