Every managed control plane in Upbound can be directly interacted with via its portal. The control plane portal is a create, read, update, delete (CRUD
) interface for the resources on your control plane.
Capabilities
The left pane of the portal shows all the available resource types installed on your MCP. Selecting a type shows a list of all running instances. View instances or edit them. You can also select the Create New
button to create a new instance of the selected resource.
Create new resource instances
Selecting the Create New
button takes you to a form creation experience that’s dynamically generated based on the API definition of the selected resource. By default, the form shows the required resources in your definition (the Crossplane XRD). Select the advanced
dropdown in the left-side menu to view optional resources.
compositionSelector
field is available in the advanced
dropdown.This form generates a claim (a Crossplane XRC
) for the resource type. Selecting Create Instance
submits your claim to your managed control plane. Select the Show YAML
button to View the claim.
View resource events
Selecting an instance of a resource shows the following information about the resource:
- creation time
- if the MCP has synced it
- if resource is reporting
ready
- events emitted by its claim
You can edit the claim for this resource by selecting the Edit
button.
