Built-in Crossplane UI
Work with Crossplane in the same Kubernetes environment as your resources, events and configuration. Keep investigation close to the platform team’s operating context.
Crossplane / Built in & next
Bring your platform APIs into view.
Crossplane UI is built into the Lumen workspace. Keep the abstractions your teams use connected to Kubernetes context, then follow our direction toward richer composition authoring and reusable platform workflows.
01 / Crossplane in the workspace
Understand the abstraction and the system behind it.
Composition authoring
Our future direction includes reusable templates, schema-aware editing and validation for platform APIs. This extends the built-in UI; it is a separate capability from current resource visibility.
02 / Platform API context
Keep the resource relationships understandable.
Crossplane defines platform APIs through composite resource schemas and compositions. An effective engineering workspace should make it easier to reason about those definitions and the resources they compose.
- 01
API definition
The composite resource definition describes the platform API and its schema.
- 02
Composition
The composition describes the resources and configuration that implement that API.
- 03
Live resources
The resulting objects and their conditions provide evidence of what the platform is doing.
03 / Future authoring workflows
Make proven patterns easier to reuse.
- 01
Reusable platform patterns
Explore templates for the capabilities application teams repeatedly need, with explicit inputs, ownership and operating assumptions.
- 02
Schema & revision context
Work toward schema-aware editing and a clearer view of composition revisions and their effect on platform APIs.
- 03
Preview & validate
Explore render and validation workflows so changes can be examined before they reach a shared environment.
- 04
Review through GitOps
Connect authoring to repository review and planned Flux and Argo CD context rather than separating infrastructure changes from delivery.
Build around your platform
Bring your Crossplane workflow.
Show us the platform APIs your teams use and the composition work you want to improve. Help shape the next authoring and investigation capabilities.
