End-to-End Automation with Kubernetes and Crossplane: Develop a control plane-based platform for unified infrastructure, services, and application automation

In the last few years, countless organizations have taken advantage of the disruptive application deployment operating model provided by Kubernetes. With 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 make people move towards a control-plane-based infrastructure automation, but setting it up requires a lot of know-how and effort.

This book will cover a detailed journey to building a control-plane-based infrastructure automation platform with Kubernetes and Crossplane. The cloud-native landscape has an overwhelming list of configuration management tools that can make it difficult to analyze and choose. This book will guide cloud-native practitioners to select the right tools for Kubernetes configuration management that best suit the use case. You'll learn about configuration management with hands-on modules built on popular configuration management tools such as Helm, Kustomize, Argo, and KubeVela. The hands-on examples will be patterns that one can directly use in their work.

By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with building a modern infrastructure automation platform to unify application and infrastructure automation.
