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.

I believe Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages can still be improved; it is not perfect yet. I think there should be a lesser number of patches, as every time the system is patched, the vulnerabilities that I scan always show some vulnerabilities. The product should be hardened from the beginning itself. Nothing else comes to mind now regarding disadvantages, but perhaps it requires more brainstorming. So far, I think it is all good with no additional features or integrations needed in Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages. Security must be enhanced, for sure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"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 reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"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 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."
"The biggest advantage of Windows Server for me is that it is more secure and adds security complexity to the environment."
"I see savings in time and money with Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages."
"The installation of Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages is very easy."
 

Cons

"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"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."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"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."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"I think there should be a lesser number of patches, as every time the system is patched, the vulnerabilities that I scan always show some vulnerabilities."
"Microsoft needs to act faster. They have to merge the level of support to solve problems at once."
"I do not see any return on investment from Windows Server, and I do not see that it is saving me time or money."
