Overview

Upbound is a comprehensive Kubernetes-native framework designed to build platforms using Crossplane control planes. It allows organizations to compose cloud resources into services and deploy them as self-service APIs. Upbound provides flexibility to meet unique requirements, enabling the creation of custom cloud services from any cloud resources. The platform ensures security and compliance while automating platform engineering and operations.
