From Crossplane to Upbound: Run your control planes at fleet scale

From Crossplane to Upbound: Run your control planes at fleet scale

created by the founders of Crossplane

You already build on Crossplane, a CNCF Graduated project running in production at Apple, Nike, JPMC, Elastic, Grafana, and Akamai. Upbound is the platform that runs it at fleet scale, for the engineers who run it and the AI agents increasingly acting on it.

Bring your existing setup, keep your configurations, and add fleet-wide visibility, one governed console and API, and managed lifecycle.

Keep your configurations. No rewrites.

What Upbound adds to Crossplane

What Upbound adds to Crossplane

Deploy applications and infrastructure resources to a fully operational and

enterprise-ready control plane without rewriting a single line.

Fleet-wide visibility: Insights

one live, searchable view of every resource across every control plane.

One governed console and API: Console and Hub

engineers work through one console, agents through one API, on the same infrastructure under the same governance.

Managed lifecycle: Control Plane, Spaces, UXP

Upbound runs the lifecycle, networking, and day-two operations, so you build golden paths instead of maintaining infrastructure.

Supply-chain security: Marketplace, Official Packages

Maintained providers and integrations with SBOMs, CVE summaries, and SLSA Level 2 signing.

Built to solve your biggest pain points

We’ve listened closely to the community to understand where users get stuck. Upbound Platform is purpose-built to address those friction points.

Upbound turns your Crossplane setup into a platform that runs itself, so your team builds golden paths instead of maintaining the control planes underneath.

No lock-in. No rewrites.

From Automation to Intelligence

A control plane automates the system it owns. Upbound goes further. It observes, analyzes, and adapts, learning the shape of your estate and improving how it runs over time. Every operation, human or agent, flows through the same governed path, so context
