AI-Native Infrastructure Platforms

Powered by Crossplane and democratizing the best-kept secret in cloud computing, the control plane.

[Bassam Tabbara @bassamtabbara]

@bgurley names the playbook we’ve been running for eight years.

Crossplane ran it at the infrastructure control plane layer - CNCF as referee, coalition of everyone-not-the-incumbent, Graduated.

The same play is available across AI infrastructure and everywhere else a closed Cathedral is forming. The coalition is already there. It just needs a neutral home.

Great convo @upbound_io booth during KubeCon Amsterdam about how UXP makes @crossplane_io more enterprise-ready. It adds a UI, backup & restore, stronger secrets management through a secrets proxy, & fleet management with Spaces available both as a cloud service & self-hosted.

Crossplane maintainers will be at #KubeConEU booth 485 next week.
If you’ve got questions, ideas, or just want to meet others working on platform engineering, come say hi. We’re also running live demos and would love to see what you’re working on.

Cancún 🇲🇽 was more than a kickoff for Upbound. It was a signal.

We’ve more than tripled revenue 📈 and leveled up across product, community, and team.

We’re building at the intersection of autonomy and authority in the enterprise 🤖.

FY27 = acceleration 🚀

[upbound @upbound_io]

Global team kickoff in Cancún 🇲🇽 and the momentum is 🔥
Big strategy. Major growth ahead.
We worked hard, saw cenotes and Mayan ruins, aligned on big bets, and we’re hiring!
This year is going to be BIG. Come build with us 🚀 https://t.co/axdp9hcOl6

Know the security risk before you deploy.
Vulnerability Summaries in Upbound Marketplace show CVEs at a glance — no scans, no guesswork.

Learn more & see it in action in this short video → https://t.co/CIbHvivcmy

[upbound @upbound_io]

AI-native infrastructure must translate intent into execution, without humans becoming the bottleneck.

We’re reducing friction from first click to real usage with unified navigation, usage-based pricing, and more.

Join me & my guest @vfarcic, Developer Advocate at @upbound_io on January 22 at 3:30PM ET, while we discuss all things #devrel & learn more about using MCP recommendations tool to show how AI can discover & intelligently suggest @crossplane_io created APIs as deployment solutions.

🚀 New in the Upbound Marketplace: Vulnerability Summaries

See CVEs for your Crossplane Package versions before deployment.
CVSS-based visibility, no scans or image pulls.

Stuck writing a Kubernetes controller?

What if you could build one with zero code, in plain English?

Our latest post shows how Crossplane Operations + LLMs & AI enable a code-free controller that watches & enforces desired state.

Fine-grained access control is hard to build. Cedar, a #CNCF sandbox project, centralizes the complexity.

In this session, learn how we push the boundaries of #Kubernetes control plane access controls.

#KubeCon NA 2025 brought huge momentum for platform engineering and AI. Big week for Upbound with Crossplane 2.0 and graduation 🎓, packed demos, great sessions, and incredible community energy. Catch recordings of the talks and the workshop ➡️ https://t.co/FtxPp312cl

[The New Stack @thenewstack]

Platform engineering has emerged as one of the most significant shifts in the cloud native ecosystem.

Thanks to @CloudNativeFdn and @upbound_io

@satyanadella recent @dwarkesh_sp podcast revealed their AI strategy: avoid betting on a single generation.

Multi-cloud took a decade. Multi-AI might take 3 years.

[Bassam Tabbara @bassamtabbara]

Google’s new report shows AI only works when your platform is strong. That’s why we built @crossplane_io and @upbound_io: declarative APIs for apps, platforms, and infra. Agentic AI depends on this. If your platform isn’t ready, your AI won’t be either.
