Crossplane is useless on its own. To orchestrate AWS, Azure, or GCP, we must install Providers. In this episode, we install the official Upbound AWS Provider, configure Kubernetes Secrets to store our IAM credentials, and bind them to a ProviderConfig.
Platform Engineering is rarely confined to a single cloud. You often need to provision AWS servers, configure GitHub repositories, and set up DataDog dashboards simultaneously. In this episode, we learn how to leverage the Pulumi Registry to install third-party Providers and orchestrate multi-cloud deployments from a single TypeScript file.
Terraform itself cannot create an AWS EC2 instance. It relies on ‘Providers’ (plugins) to translate HCL code into cloud-specific API calls. In this episode, we connect Terraform to AWS and establish a secure, production-grade authentication mechanism.
