The process of onboarding a new vendor in a large enterprise is long and arduous. This creates an inefficient iteration cycle that can last months — time in which the vendor could have been providing value to the customer.

Crossplane Packages and API Dependencies https://www.crossplane.io/ is a framework for building control planes.

While the attributes of Crossplane packages enable platform builders to quickly add functionality to their control planes, they also present a unique distribution mechanism for vendors.

When the customer adds the Configuration package as a dependency in their root package, Crossplane will verify the presence of a compatible version of provider-aws in their control plane.
