Love learning about crossplane and diving into its internals, so I am working on fixing issues it has on its "issues" page in GitHub.
In Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)I thought Crossplane v2 was only a design proposal at the moment: https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/pull/6255
But I guess there is an actual preview implementation now? https://docs.crossplane.io/v2.0-preview/
The comparison on Kro would definitely be good to include as there are quite a few similarities. I can write up more on how it compares in a bit.

2 points · Open discussionI agree. There are also cases where many Kubernetes clusters in different regions consume the same cloud service like RDS Cluster. So, tight coupling of cloud service (assumed to be stateful in most cases) and workloads doesn't work in some scenarios.
In Crossplane, our primary scenario is to have a dedicated small cluster for all the orchestration of infrastructure and many app clusters that will consume resources form that central cluster. So, clusters with workloads come and go but the one with your infra stays there and serves as control plane. See the latest design about this workflow: https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/blob/master/design/... I'd be happy to hear your feedback on the design.

In The AWS Controllers for Kubernetes[disclosure: I started the crossplane project and ceo/founder at upbound]
If you look at the governance of Crossplane [1], you'll see the three original maintainers of Crossplane (all Upbound employees) will be bootstrapping the steering committee and have a 2 year term, 2 others are currently being added without upbound affiliation. We believe this bootstrapping period is important to ensure that the project remains true to its vision, and to build trust and rapport with new folks joining the project. After the bootstrap period ends, the community will vote new members in. This is the same way Kubernetes and the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee were bootstrapped.
Upbound will have a commercial solution around Crossplane, but our commercial goals are not at odds with creating a strong open source community with strong governance. For Cr

ossplane to be successful it's going to take a village, this is why we're donating it to the CNCF.

when you ask for a DB you get an instance of RDS/CloudSQL/etc., in other words you are using the managed services of your cloud provider.
we're just getting started with cross-cloud scenarios. would love your feedback on https://github.com/crossplaneio/crossplane
