What you'll learn
Deploy and manage real cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) directly through Kubernetes using Crossplane.
Design and build Compositions and XRDs to create reusable, self-service infrastructure platforms for your teams.
Integrate Crossplane with GitOps tools like ArgoCD to enable full declarative, automated infrastructure delivery.
Replace or complement Terraform by provisioning and managing multi-cloud resources through Kubernetes control planes.
Troubleshoot and debug Crossplane resources, providers, and claims like a production-ready DevOps engineer.
Build your own internal cloud platform that lets developers deploy infrastructure safely without touching Terraform or the console.
Requirements
Basic familiarity with Kubernetes concepts such as Pods, Services, Deployments, and CRDs.
Fundamental understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and resources like databases, storage, and compute.
Basic knowledge of YAML syntax for writing configuration files.
Optional but recommended: prior experience with Terraform or another Infrastructure-as-Code tool.
A laptop or computer capable of running Minikube, kind, or access to a cloud Kubernetes cluster.
Description
Modern DevOps is no longer just about deploying workloads. it's about designing platforms that enable teams to ship faster, safer, and at scale.
In this course, you'll learn how to think and work like a DevOps Architect by mastering Kubernetes and Crossplane, one of the most powerful tools for building internal developer platforms and managing cloud infrastructure declaratively.
We start by establishing the core concepts: Managed Resources vs Composite Resources, Crossplane architecture, providers, claims, and reconciliation loops. From there, we move into hands-on platform design, where you'll define your own APIs using XRDs, build reusable Compositions, and connect them to real cloud and Kubernetes resources.
A major focus of this course is Crossplane Functions how they enable validation, dynamic configuration, policy enforcement, and complex logic that was previously hard or impossible with static patches alone. You'll see how functions transform Crossplane from a configuration tool into a true platform orchestration engine.
Throughout the course, we use real-world scenarios inspired by actual platform teams: multiple teams requesting infrastructure, enforcing security standards, handling regional constraints, and abstracting complexity away from application developers.
This course is designed for engineers who already understand Kubernetes basics and want to move into platform engineering, DevOps architecture, or cloud infrastructure design.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to design and reason about production-ready internal platforms using Crossplane - not just follow YAML, but understand why things are built the way they are.
Who this course is for
DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and SREs who want to take their Kubernetes and infrastructure automation skills to the next level.
Cloud engineers looking to build self-service infrastructure platforms for their teams using a modern, GitOps-driven approach.
Terraform users who want to learn the next-generation Infrastructure-as-Code framework and extend their multi-cloud capabilities.
Developers and engineers who want to automate cloud provisioning without manually touching consoles or writing repetitive scripts.
Tech enthusiasts and learners interested in Kubernetes control planes, Crossplane, and modern GitOps workflows who are ready to build real-world projects.
