Description Crossplane is a powerful cloud-native control plane framework that enables platform teams to build internal cloud platforms for managing infrastructure, services, and applications across multiple clouds. It extends Kubernetes with custom resources for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure, services, and applications using a consistent API.
