Overview

Package types​

Crossplane supports these package types: Configurations, Functions and Providers.

  • Configuration packages combine Crossplane Composite Resource Definitions, Compositions and metadata.
  • Function packages include the compiled function code for single or multiple processor architectures.
  • Provider packages combine a [Kubernetes controller][kubernetes-controller] container, associated Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and metadata. The Crossplane open source AWS provider package is an example a provider's metadata and CRDs.

Availability​

Beginning with v2.0.0, all minor version releases are publicly accessible and compatible with UXP Community license.

Patch Release Access:

  • Patch releases for the current minor version are compatible with UXP Community license

  • Only a subset of patch releases are compatible with the Community license. For example, backported critical CVE patches require an Upbound Standard license or higher to access
