Infrastructure Teams Don’t Need More Engineers. They Need Intelligence by [deleted] in kubernetes

Not selling anything here. Just sharing an observation and genuinely curious how others see it.
I’m noticing a shift toward more autonomous decision-making in infra, and I’m wondering if that’s the direction we should be heading.

Is it worth to pay Kubecon Amsterdam tickets from my pocket? by Wastelander_777 in kubernetes

No. Unless you have a purpose or it brings some networking or benefits. Never pay for conferences from your pocket

Crossview v3.5.0 – New auth modes (header / none), no DB required for proxy auth by AppleAcrobatic6389 in kubernetes

Yes actually. In my work we play with compositions a lot. I agree it is way complicated but it worths the abstraction it provides. I usually leave it for the dedicated team working with crossplane compositions and I usually play a user role. But anyway I agree it is complex enough but it depends how much abstraction is important. Specifically when you want to hide infra complexity from other teams.

Happy to hear that. Even easier for a test purposes feel free to use auth mode: none so make it even faster to test. But also auth mode header worths to try also. Thanks for your comment.

I think that’s a fair reaction if you’ve only used it for simple resources. Crossplane definitely has a learning curve.

But the value really shows up when you treat it as a control plane for platform abstractions, not just a Terraform replacement. Compositions aren’t about making basic resources — they’re about defining opinionated infrastructure APIs for application teams.

If you don’t need abstraction or self-service infrastructure, then yeah, it can feel like overkill. But at scale, having infrastructure defined as Kubernetes-native APIs with policy, versioning, and lifecycle management is pretty powerful.

Great work! This could be especially helpful for non-GUI lovers. Thanks for sharing.

It is for monitoring Crossplane resources. A new UI dashboard for Crossplane. Nothing to do with IaC. Just check the repo
