Global team kickoff in Cancún 🇲🇽 and the momentum is 🔥
Big strategy. Major growth ahead.
We worked hard, saw cenotes and Mayan ruins, aligned on big bets, and we’re hiring!
This year is going to be BIG. Come build with us 🚀 utm.guru/ulJ6s

AI-native infrastructure must reliably translate intent into execution, without humans becoming the bottleneck.

We’ve been reducing friction from first click to real usage with unified navigation, usage-based pricing, and self-service licensing.

Stuck writing a Kubernetes controller?

What if you could build one with zero code, in plain English?

Our latest post shows how Crossplane Operations + LLMs & AI enable a code-free controller that watches & enforces desired state. utm.guru/ujwos

Want to know how it could be used in the Kubernetes ecosystem? Check out github.com/upbound/kube... on Github and @luxas.dev's talks on the Cedar at Speakerdeck: speakerdeck.com/luxas

Fine-grained access control is hard to build. Cedar, a CNCF sandbox project, centralizes the complexity w/role-, relation-, and attribute-based models, a typed schema + editor hints, and analyzable policies.

Learn how we push the boundaries of #Kubernetes control plane access controls.

Three Questions About AI Infrastructure's Next Chapter Dwarkesh Patel recent podcast with Satya Nadella is a great glimpse into the AI landscape and how the largest infrastructure player in AI is thinking about the next era. One comment particularly stood...

Satya's recent @dwarkesh.bsky.social podcast revealed their AI strategy: avoid betting on a single generation.

Multi-cloud took a decade. Multi-AI might take 3 years.

Google’s new report shows AI only works when your platform is strong. That’s why we built @crossplane.io and @upbound.io
: declarative APIs for apps, platforms, and infra. Agentic AI depends on this. If your platform isn’t ready, your AI won’t be either.
