Overview

This topic explains what the LaunchDarkly Crossplane provider is, how you can use it, and where to find additional documentation for it.

The LaunchDarkly Crossplane provider manages LaunchDarkly resources as Kubernetes custom resources. This provider enables you to use Kubernetes-style YAML configurations to configure and control feature flags, environments, projects, teams, and more.

The provider exposes managed resources for the LaunchDarkly API.

You do not need to choose between the LaunchDarkly user interface (UI) and the Crossplane provider. You can use a hybrid approach that meets your needs. For example, you might manage one set of LaunchDarkly resources through the Crossplane provider and another set through the UI.

The Crossplane provider and custom roles

A common scenario is using custom roles to define the LaunchDarkly entities managed by Crossplane. For example, you can tag Crossplane-managed resources with a crossplane tag and use custom roles to prevent team members from modifying those resources with the LaunchDarkly UI.

To learn more about custom roles, read Custom roles.
