Self-Contained On-Prem & Private Cloud Installs with Replicated and Crossplane

In this session, Martez Killins, Solutions Engineer at Replicated, walks through how to deploy cloud-native applications in self-contained, secure environments using Crossplane and Embedded Cluster. The talk explores how modern enterprise installations span on-prem, hybrid, and air-gapped settings—and why brittle, manual cloud provisioning doesn’t scale. Martez introduces a new deployment pattern where Embedded Cluster provides a zero-ops Kubernetes runtime, and Crossplane is layered on top to declaratively manage cloud infrastructure like S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and more. You’ll learn how to use Helm charts to deploy provider configs, handle cloud reconciliation through Crossplane, and orchestrate a real-world LLM application across cloud and local environments. This is a must-watch for platform teams, DevOps engineers, and anyone interested in combining infrastructure as code with secure, zero-ops Kubernetes for commercial software distribution. 00:00 - Why Cloud Installations Are Complex An overview of today’s hybrid, multi-cloud, and air-gapped customer environments—and the challenges they pose. 01:20 - What is Crossplane? Intro to Crossplane as a Kubernetes-native control plane for managing cloud resources declaratively. 02:20 - The Power of Composites How Crossplane enables separation of concerns using provider configs and blueprint-like compositions. 03:20 - What is Embedded Cluster? A zero-ops Kubernetes distribution from Replicated, ideal for bootstrapping installs and minimizing admin overhead. 04:20 - App Architecture Overview Exploring the architecture of a real-world AWS-based app including S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, Bedrock, and more. 05:40 - Solving the Chicken-and-Egg Problem How using Embedded Cluster to host Crossplane solves bootstrapping and simplifies cloud resource provisioning. 06:20 - Extension Setup and Cluster Bootstrapping How to install Crossplane via Helm as an extension during the Embedded Cluster install process. 07:10 - Breaking Down the Helm Charts Overview of provider configs, providers, compositions, and the main application chart. 08:50 - Live Application + Upload Demo Martez demonstrates the deployed app and shows document upload functionality triggering LLMs in the backend. 10:00 - Crossplane in Action: Managing AWS Resources Using kubectl to show all provisioned cloud infrastructure and how a single composite manages dozens of resources.
