Upbound

Founded 2018

Build and run Crossplane control planes to manage cloud infrastructure across multiple environments

Pricing model

Paid

You can use Upbound to build, run, and govern control planes across your entire cloud infrastructure estate. Built on open-source Crossplane, it replaces custom deployment scripts by reconciling infrastructure against declared configurations automatically. You can define internal cloud services using Kubernetes APIs, enforce compliance policies across multiple clouds, and connect automated agents directly to your environments. It provides enterprise security, single sign-on, managed operations, and self-healing setups so your team can deploy infrastructure faster without manual intervention or configuration drift.
