17:10 – Talk: Testing Crossplane Compositions with Kyverno Chainsaw & Testkube
🎤 Speaker: Matthias Alt, DATEV eG
🗣️ Language: German
🎯 Focus: Platform Engineering
👥 Level: Beginner-friendly
⏱️ Format: 45-minute practical talk
Crossplane is a powerful tool for managing cloud resources through the Kubernetes API. But as Custom Compositions become more complex, the risk of misconfigurations grows. How can we make sure that changes to our blueprints do not break production environments?
In this practical talk, Matthias will show a modern testing stack for Kubernetes-native workflows:

• Kyverno Chainsaw for declarative end-to-end testing with YAML
• Testkube for running and orchestrating tests in a scalable, cloud-native way
• Strategies for testing Crossplane Compositions
• A workflow from local `chainsaw test` runs to automated execution in the cluster via Testkube

The talk will close with a live demo showing both local Chainsaw tests and execution with Testkube in a cluster.
