Description

Crossplane is an open-source add-on for Kubernetes that allows platform teams to create infrastructure from various providers while offering higher-level self-service APIs for application teams to utilize, all without requiring any coding. You can provision and oversee cloud services and infrastructure using kubectl commands. By enhancing your Kubernetes cluster, Crossplane delivers Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for any infrastructure or managed service. These detailed resources can be combined into advanced abstractions that are easily versioned, managed, deployed, and utilized with your preferred tools and existing workflows already in place within your clusters. Crossplane was developed to empower organizations to construct their cloud environments similarly to how cloud providers develop theirs, utilizing a control plane approach. As a project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Crossplane broadens the Kubernetes API to facilitate the management and composition of infrastructure. Operators can define policies, permissions, and other protective measures through a custom API layer generated by Crossplane, ensuring that governance and compliance are maintained throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. This innovation paves the way for streamlined cloud management and enhances the overall developer experience.

Description

The F5 Distributed Cloud Platform offers enhanced features, robust security measures, and streamlined operations superior to those provided by native cloud services. This platform is specifically designed to cater to distributed applications operating in multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge settings. As software applications transition into microservices and increasingly rely on APIs, the emergence of complex and highly distributed architectures brings about challenges, escalated costs, and heightened risks. To effectively deliver applications, it is necessary to deploy and manage various appliances, software, and connectivity services. Conventional CDNs and hub-and-spoke networks fall short when it comes to supporting immersive or large-scale SaaS applications. With differing APIs, policies, and levels of observability, there is a pressing need for significant investments in automation. Applications that are distributed across various environments often face unequal protection levels. Furthermore, achieving alignment among DevOps, NetOps, and SecOps during service provisioning and security poses significant challenges, particularly when relying on ticket-based workflows, which can hinder efficiency and responsiveness. Addressing these complexities is crucial for optimizing the management of distributed applications.
