Crossplane 2.0 is out!

Crossplane is a very interesting project, and while I have my own reservations against managing cloud resources with Kubernetes abstractions, I think this project did many things right.

2.0 version takes it a step further. I personally excited abut this part:

~~~
The biggest change in Crossplane 2.0 is that compositions can now include any Kubernetes resource, not just Crossplane-managed infrastructure. This means you can define a composite resource that provisions a database, configures networking, deploys an application, and sets up monitoring, all in one cohesive abstraction.
~~~

This is great! Now, you should be able to define the whole scope of an application with all its infra dependencies as a single artifact, and potentially, ship application templates to manage fleets of similar services. This, in my humble opinion, is the only sane way of providing “a platform” to your developers.
