OCB: Deploying Crossplane Providers with OLM - Krish Chowdhary (Red Hat)
Channel: OpenShift
Date: 2021-05-25

Crossplane is a project that strives to bring cloud infrastructure, services, and applications closer to your Kubernetes cluster in order to create a hybrid control plane. This goal is primarily achieved through the use of providers, which are standalone controllers for a specific API group. The Crossplane project itself manages the lifecycle of these providers, from installation to cleanup. In this briefing, Red Hat's Krish Chowdhary will briefly discuss what providers are, the Crossplane architecture as well as how we can repackage a provider installation via the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
