Upbound, the control plane company behind the popular open source project Crossplane, has announced the latest release of Upbound available everywhere, with several enterprise features bringing faster time-to-value to companies building cloud-native platforms. This release offers a unified managed Crossplane experience that’s available for customers anywhere–whether that’s Upbound’s multi-tenant SaaS or single-tenant on customers’ own infrastructure.

Along with a global Console with several features for platform operators, automatic upgrades, and enterprise security, Upbound enables platform engineers to get started with control planes faster and more easily manage Crossplane at an enterprise scale.

The Upbound platform delivers an enterprise-ready Crossplane experience with a new set of features, unifying its platform experience across cloud and self-hosted Spaces. Platform engineers get a better way to manage their cloud-native workloads with the following newest benefits:

• Connected Console: Upbound Console is a powerful tool that provides a unified view of all control planes and services running. Customers can use the same Console and CLI experience when interacting with Upbound across both multi-tenant or single-tenant deployments hosted on their own infrastructure. Platform teams can now use the console to visualize, inspect and debug their entire platform, all from a single console with SSO and Upbound IAM.
• Enhanced security: New APIs are available for operating single and group-level experiences. Shared secrets offer built-in support to connect managed control planes to external secret stores and are configurable for single and multi-Crossplane control plane access. Upbound Identity is available to manage access control across all managed control planes, wherever they run. Additionally, Shared Backups enable the configuration of automatic backup schedules to be applied to one or more managed control planes in a group. Customers can restore control planes to an earlier state from these backups.
• Automatic upgrades and easy migration: Customers can use a configurable policy to auto-upgrade managed control planes by channel or pin to a specific Crossplane version. The control plane migrator can move open source Crossplane control planes to Upbound with two commands, making it easy to get started with Upbound.
