Crossplane Intro and Deep Dive - the Cloud Native Control Plane Framework

In this session, the maintainers of Crossplane, a CNCF Incubating project, introduce the project and dive into its functionality and roadmap. The talk explains how Crossplane enables users to compose cloud infrastructure and services into custom platform APIs, and how to get started building a platform. It covers key features, their use cases, and adoption strategies, followed by an interactive Q&A session with the maintainers to influence the project's future direction. The deep dive explores new features like composition functions for complex logic and runtime data, and observe-only resources for integrating existing infrastructure, alongside metrics and observability tools.
