I think Upbound’s Crossplane is the best positioned here. It’s an easy migration path and far more sane way to manage state.


could you say more about what hashicorp products Crossplane compares to/or doesnt?


Sure, Crossplane leverages the K8s control plane for managing desired state for systems outside of the kubernetes cluster. It functions in a very similar fashion to terraform but it’s storing its own state in etcd instead of another state store. That makes GitOps + Crossplane play really nicely together and avoid the extra complexity that happens with terraform apply operations. They have a terraform wrapper provider for importing existing config and state.

It’s really nice to have infra and apps flow through the same pipes.


oh wow, wonderfully explained. it feels like crossplane might be a terraform killer then, assuming k8s has won, which it seems to have.
