Terraform vs. Crossplane vs. Ansible - Rivals or Allies?

In this video we dive deep into the world of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and resource management and explore tools like Terraform, Crossplane, Ansible, Helm, and a few others. Are they competitors, or can they function as allies within your DevOps toolkit?

Do you think that solutions like Ansible, Terraform/Pulumi/Helm, and Crossplane should be combined or one of those is enough.

[RobertFabiano]

Mind blown 🤯 thank you. Going to share this video with anyone who needs it.

[diegoamaya]

Enlightening analysis, very helpful to plenty discussion many of us (have been/ are dealing with), totally agree, thanks

[GeraldOSullivan]

Very insightful. Your point about having a control plane on this side of the API requests in a hybrid environment is well made. Well done Victor.

[pirolas]

Another great video!! A lot of work into it! I'm sharing it once again! Thank you for these!

My girlfriend remarked on how this guy never styles his hair, to which I replied, “That’s because we prioritize crafting excellent code over having perfectly styled hair.” 😂

[jean-gertnesselbosch]

very instructive ! got the idea now of what crossplane is for. thank you !

[vimalneha]

What an informative video! I virtually wrote each line of the talk.

Terraform has been created about 14 years ago and is here to stay for specific use cases, especially with IBM support now… Crossplane won’t replace Terraform as it requires k8s, that’s not always there. Infra tools area is quite disruptive and changing, exciting to see what future will bring 🙂

[maneshipocrates]

Thanks for this video and maybe a part II :). But wonderful and clear to me - who just started this cloud journey.

We are planning to adopt Talos Linux in our datacenters which I am really excited about, because it is a 100% API-driven OS. If it works, it's gonna let us ditch a large amount of all the self-crafted, half-automated, and maintenance-heavy scripts, pipelines & Ansible playbooks for provisioning and configuring infrastructure and shift towards APIs even for the machines and OSs 😏

3:31 it's CONTROL, not COHTROL

hehe, cyrillic

[javisartdesign]

good points! very useful information. thanks

[eastming]

With IBM's acquisition of hashicorp, perhaps Terraform and Ansible will be more deeply integrated?

[ramonsong]

Viktor, this video is gold, simple and well explained. From here to Hollywood and getting an OSCAR?
I would like to manage OS through an API too, sucks ssh-ing or ssm-ing to change something, can I use ansible with Crossplane to expose an API to OS?

[IvanRizzante]

Thanks for another great video! I think there is confusion about the differences between the different kind of tool, I feel the same whenever I hear that true GitOps can be obtained outside of Kubernetes, with the so called "Infrastructure as a Code" tools. Thanks for clarifying!

[manikanta]

Viktor, this may not be relevant to this video but wanted to ask this...when using argo cd and crossplane together, which controller does the reconciliation of resources? Is it argo controller or crossplane controller? and how?

[not_a_human_being]

Lol, I guess I'm one of the screaming at the screen. No, but seriously, I have code running locally, now I want it in the cloud. That's one task, and one tool should solve it. That's all. I don't think that's too much to ask.

[chadsly]

I haven't found the need to add Crossplane or Pulumi, yet. Other than that, I'm not sure how you can remove Terraform, Ansible, or Helm (or similar to Helm).
