Crossplane as Cloud-Native IaC

Crossplane is K8s-native IaC.

Idea

IaC as K8s resources. kubectl applies cloud resources.

Unifies app and infra deployment.

K8s-centric orgs. Already using GitOps.

Tightens the integration.

Provider coverage smaller than Terraform.

Some cloud features unavailable.
