# Crossplane Integration with KubeStellar Console

## Overview
Crossplane is a CNCF Graduated project that turns Kubernetes into a universal control plane for infrastructure. KubeStellar Console provides platform engineering teams with unified visibility into Crossplane Composition health, Composite Resource (XR) status, and managed provider connectivity across multi-cluster deployments.

## Platform Engineering Synergy
- **Infrastructure as Code** — Composition definitions, XRDs, and provider configurations at scale
- **Multi-Cloud Support** — Monitor AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises resources via Crossplane across clusters
- **Provider Health Dashboard** — Real-time visibility into provider authentication, connectivity, and resource quota status
- **Composition Debugging** — Cross-cluster XR deployment tracking and failure diagnosis

## Console Integration Opportunities
- **Crossplane XR Health Card** — Status dashboard for Composite Resources across multiple clusters
- **Provider Connectivity Monitor** — Track managed resource health, sync status, and error conditions
- **Composition Audit Trail** — Multi-cluster deployment history and compliance state

## Community Resources

### Crossplane v2.0 & Beyond
- [Crossplane Documentation](https://docs.crossplane.io/)
- [Crossplane GitHub](https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane)
- CNCF Slack: `#crossplane`

### Platform Engineering Community
- Crossplane Community Meetings (bi-weekly)
- CNCF Platform Engineering TAG
- Cloud-Native Slack: `#platform-engineering`

## Next Steps
1. **Slack Discussion** — Open conversation in Crossplane community about XR health dashboard needs
2. **Console Card Development** — Build Crossplane composition visibility card (separate development issue)
3. **Community Demo** — Present integrated solution at Crossplane community meeting
4. **Integration Guide** — Document common use cases for platform teams

## How do I get this working with my KubeStellar instance?
[Work with us](https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C097094RZ3M) to develop integration guides and example Compositions for multi-cluster scenarios.
