What is Loft?

Although numerous Kubernetes platforms allow users to establish and manage Kubernetes clusters, Loft distinguishes itself with a unique approach. Instead of functioning as a separate tool for cluster management, Loft acts as an enhanced control plane, augmenting existing Kubernetes setups by providing multi-tenancy features and self-service capabilities, thereby unlocking the full potential of Kubernetes beyond basic cluster management. It features a user-friendly interface as well as a command-line interface, while fully integrating with the Kubernetes ecosystem, enabling smooth administration via kubectl and the Kubernetes API, which guarantees excellent compatibility with existing cloud-native technologies. The development of open-source solutions is a key component of our mission, as Loft Labs is honored to be a member of both the CNCF and the Linux Foundation. By leveraging Loft, organizations can empower their teams to build cost-effective and efficient Kubernetes environments that cater to a variety of applications, ultimately promoting innovation and flexibility within their operations. This remarkable functionality allows businesses to tap into the full capabilities of Kubernetes, simplifying the complexities that typically come with cluster oversight. Additionally, Loft's approach encourages collaboration across teams, ensuring that everyone can contribute to and benefit from a well-structured Kubernetes ecosystem.

What is Crossplane?

Crossplane is an open-source extension for Kubernetes that enables platform teams to build infrastructure across multiple providers while providing application teams with user-friendly self-service APIs that require no coding. Utilizing kubectl commands, you can manage and provision cloud services and infrastructure efficiently. By augmenting your Kubernetes cluster, Crossplane introduces Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) that cater to any infrastructure or managed service needs. These comprehensive resources can be interwoven into sophisticated abstractions that are not only easily versioned but also manageable, deployable, and compatible with the tools and workflows already established within your clusters. Designed to empower organizations to create their cloud setups in a manner akin to that of cloud providers, Crossplane employs a control plane methodology. As a project supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Crossplane expands the Kubernetes API, simplifying the infrastructure management and composition processes. Operators can establish policies, permissions, and other security measures through a custom API layer that Crossplane generates, ensuring governance and compliance are upheld throughout the lifecycle of the infrastructure. This groundbreaking approach not only streamlines cloud management but also significantly enhances the overall experience for developers, making it easier for teams to collaborate and innovate. Ultimately, Crossplane serves as a pivotal tool in modern cloud architecture, bridging the gap between developers and operational requirements.
