Diego Paradeda - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Philips
Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Familiar platform has supported reliable on-premise file sharing and directory services
I am not currently using virtual machines, but I intend to switch over from VMware, and if I do, I may use the Shielded Virtual Machines feature. I am not using the Nano Server product, so I cannot comment on its impact on reducing server footprint in my organization. I am not working with Windows Containers for managing application deployment. I do not know about the integration capability of Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages with Microsoft Azure, as I do not use the cloud. I would give Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages a rating of eight on a scale from zero to ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."

"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."

"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."

"I can state that I almost never see crashes or glitches in my experience."

Cons

"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"In terms of how Upbound Crossplane could improve, the generation of providers that are not already covered via Terraform is acceptable, but it could be more user-friendly for people who may not have knowledge of how those custom providers are structured."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"I would not agree that Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages is 99% stable and reliable."
