End-to-End Automation with Kubernetes and Crossplane

By: Arun Ramakani

Overview of this book

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.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Resources such as Pods, Deployments, Jobs, and StatefulSets belong to the workload category.”

A block of code is set as follows:

# List all resources 
kubectl api-resources
# List resources in the "apps" API group 
kubectl api-resources --api-group=apps
# List resources in the "networking.k8s.io" API group
kubectl api-resources --api-group=networking.k8s.io

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

apiVersion: "book.imarunrk.com/v1"
kind: "CloudDB"
metadata:
  name: "aws_RDS"
spec:
  type: "sql"
  cloud : "aws"

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

% kubectl get all -n crossplane-system
helm delete crossplane --namespace crossplane-system

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Go to the IAM section in the AWS web console and click Add a user.”
