+
+ How it works
+Everything in code
+Define your entire cloud landscape using code. Always know exactly what's defined and leverage review-based workflows, version control, and much more.
+Continuous self-healing
+Keep your landscape in sync. Crossplane continuously observes the desired and the actual state and reconciles any differences automatically.
+One syntax for all
++ Use a unified approach to define and manage resources across multiple cloud providers and services, reducing infrastructure complexity significantly. +
+Designed for reuse
++ Define your landscapes in modular building blocks using Crossplane Compositions or Helm charts. Replicate modules easily across different regions or stages. +
+Run a platform
++ Prebuild your own platform tailored to the specific needs of your organization and offer it to development teams in a self-service way. +
+Built for everyone
++ Whether you are a cloud expert or just getting started — our providers are designed to help everyone. + We run 100% open-source. +
+EMPOWER YOUR ENGINEERS
+Control Planes hold everything they need to orchestrate cloud landscapes
+ {/* Subsection navigation */} +Declarative API everywhere
+Define your infrastructure as declarative YAML. The control plane reconciles your desired state with reality—creating, updating, and managing cloud resources automatically.
+Self-healing
+The control plane continuously monitors your resources and automatically corrects drift, recovers from failures, and ensures your infrastructure matches the desired state at all times—powered by Crossplane.
+GitOps
+Store your control plane configurations in Git. Flux automatically syncs changes from your repository to live environments, providing audit trails, rollback capabilities, and declarative infrastructure management.

+Provision, manage, secure all instances on open control plane platform
+ {/* Subsection navigation */} +Central onboarding API
+As an operator, provide a central onboarding API where end users can order control planes with standardized configurations. Streamline provisioning and ensure consistency across your organization.
+Shared tooling
+Share common tools across all control planes including Vault for secrets management, Kyverno for policy enforcement, custom IDPs for authentication, and GitHub registries for container images.
+Bring own observability stack
+Integrate your preferred monitoring and observability tools seamlessly with your control planes.

+ This project started as an inner-source initiative within SAP. Thanks to NeonEphos, it now operates 100% publicly and has been donated to the OpenControlPlane organization.
+
+
+
+ We believe that no single team can achieve a fully orchestrated environment on their own.
+
Only through collaboration we can make Europe's cloud services 100% orchestratable for everyone.
