up composition render

Run a composition locally to render an XR into composed resources.

The render command shows you what composed resources Crossplane would create by printing them to stdout. It also prints any changes that would be made to the status of the XR. It doesn't talk to Crossplane. Instead it runs the Composition Function pipeline specified by the Composition locally, and uses that to render the XR.

Examples

Simulate creating a new XR:

up composition render composition.yaml xr.yaml

Simulate updating an XR that already exists:

up composition render composition.yaml xr.yaml \
    --observed-resources=existing-observed-resources.yaml

Pass context values to the Function pipeline:

up composition render composition.yaml xr.yaml \
    --context-values=apiextensions.crossplane.io/environment='{"key": "value"}'

Pass extra resources requested by functions in the pipeline:

up composition render composition.yaml xr.yaml \
    --extra-resources=extra-resources.yaml

Pass credentials needed by functions in the pipeline:

up composition render composition.yaml xr.yaml \
    --function-credentials=credentials.yaml

Docker Configuration

The render command uses Docker (or any Docker-compatible container runtime) to run composition functions. Configure the Docker connection using these standard environment variables:

DOCKER_HOST: Docker daemon socket (e.g., unix:///var/run/docker.sock)
DOCKER_API_VERSION: Docker API version to use

up controlplane migration

Migrate control planes to Upbound Managed Control Planes.

The migration command seamlessly migrates control plane resources from Crossplane or Upbound Crossplane (UXP) environments to Managed Control Planes in Upbound Spaces.

This command simplifies the process of transferring your existing Crossplane configurations and states into the Upbound platform, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime.

For detailed information on each command and its options, use the --help flag with the specific command (e.g., up controlplane migration export --help).

Usage

up controlplane migration <command> [flags]

up controlplane migration export

The 'export' command is used to export the current state of a Crossplane or Universal Crossplane (xp/uxp) control plane into an archive file. This file can then be used for migration to Upbound Managed Control Planes.

The export command exports resources from a Crossplane or Upbound Crossplane (UXP) cluster to a tarball, for migration to an Upbound Managed Control Plane.

Use the available options to customize the export process, such as specifying the output file path, including or excluding specific resources and namespaces, and deciding whether to pause claim,composite,managed resources before exporting.

Examples

Pause all claims, composites, and managed resources before exporting the control plane state. The state is exported to the default archive file named xp-state.tar.gz. Resources that were already paused will be annotated with migration.upbound.io/already-paused: "true" to preserve their paused state during the import process:

up migration export --pause-before-export

Export the control plane state to a file called my-export.tar.gz:

up migration export --output=my-export.tar.gz

Export the control plane state from only the provided namespaces to the default file, xp-state.tar.gz, with the additional resources specified:

up migration export --include-extra-resources="customresource.group" \
    --include-namespaces="crossplane-system,team-a,team-b"

Usage

up controlplane migration export [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short Form	Description
`--yes`		When set to true, automatically accepts any confirmation prompts that may appear during the export process.
`--output`	`-o`	Specifies the file path where the exported archive will be saved. Defaults to 'xp-state.tar.gz'.
`--include-extra-resources`		A list of extra resource types to include in the export in "resource.group" format in addition to all Crossplane resources. By default, it includes namespaces, configmaps, secrets.
`--exclude-resources`		A list of resource types to exclude from the export in "resource.group" format. No resources are excluded by default.
`--include-namespaces`		A list of specific namespaces to include in the export. If not specified, all namespaces are included by default.
`--exclude-namespaces`		A list of specific namespaces to exclude from the export. Defaults to 'kube-system', 'kube-public', 'kube-node-lease', and 'local-path-storage'.
`--pause-before-export`		When set to true, pauses all claim,composite and managed resources before starting the export process. This can help ensure a consistent state for the export. Defaults to false.

up controlplane migration import

The 'import' command imports a control plane state from an archive file into an Upbound managed control plane.

The import command imports resources from an exported bundle into a Managed Control Plane.

By default, all managed resources will be paused during the import process for possible manual inspection/validation. You can use the --unpause-after-import flag to automatically unpause all claim,composite,managed resources after the import process completes.

Examples

Automatically import the control plane state from my-export.tar.gz. Claim and composite resources that were paused during export will remain paused. Managed resources will be paused. If they were already paused during export, the annotation migration.upbound.io/already-paused: "true" will be added to preserve their paused state:

up migration import --input=`my-export.tar.gz`

Automatically import and unpause claims, composites, and managed resources after importing them. Resources with the annotation migration.upbound.io/already-paused: "true" will remain paused:

up migration import --unpause-after-import

Automatically import and unpause claims, composites, and managed resources after importing them. The metadata.name of claims will be adjusted for MCP Connector compatibility, and the corresponding composite's claimRef will also be updated. Resources annotated with migration.upbound.io/already-paused: "true" will remain paused:

up migration import --unpause-after-import --mcp-connector-claim-namespace=default \
    --mcp-connector-cluster-id=my-cluster-id

Usage

up controlplane migration import [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short Form	Description
`--yes`		When set to true, automatically accepts any confirmation prompts that may appear during the import process.
`--input`	`-i`	Specifies the file path or directory of the archive to be imported. The default path is 'xp-state.tar.gz'.
`--unpause-after-import`		When set to true, automatically unpauses all managed resources that were paused during the import process. This helps in resuming normal operations post-import. Defaults to false, requiring manual unpausing of resources if needed.
`--mcp-connector-cluster-id`		MCP Connector cluster ID. Required for importing claims supported my MCP Connector.
`--mcp-connector-claim-namespace`		MCP Connector claim namespace. Required for importing claims supported by MCP Connector.
`--skip-target-check`		When set to true, skips the check for a local or managed control plane during import.

up controlplane migration pause-toggle

The 'pause-toggle' command is used to pause or unpause resources affected by a migration, ensuring that only migration-induced pauses are undone.

The pause-toggle command allows you to manage the paused state of resources after a migration attempt.

When --pause=true, all resources in the target control plane will be paused due to a faulty migration. This is useful after running migration import --unpause-after-import=true and discovering issues in the target.
When --pause=false, only resources paused during the migration will be unpaused in the source control plane, ensuring that pre-existing paused resources remain unchanged.

Examples

Pause all resources in the target control plane after a migration if the import caused issues. Useful for stopping resources in a faulty target environment:

up migration pause-toggle --pause=true

Unpause only the resources that were paused in the source control plane due to migration. This is helpful when reverting migration-induced pauses in the source after a failed import to the target.

up migration pause-toggle --pause=false

Usage

up controlplane migration pause-toggle [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short Form	Description
`--pause`		Set to 'true' to pause all resources in the target control plane after a faulty migration, or 'false' to remove the paused annotation in the source control plane after a failed migration.
`--yes`		When set to true, automatically accepts any confirmation prompts that may appear during the process.

Check if the IAM IdentityProvider proidc.upbound.io exists and create it if needed. Create an IAM Role with a trust policy using a wildcard match (StringLike) on sub. Useful for allowing access from multiple control planes matching the pattern:

up ctp oidc-auth aws example-project-aws-up-cli arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess \
    --sub 'example-*'

Check if the IAM IdentityProvider example.upbound.io exists and create it if needed. Create an IAM Role trusted by the specified identity provider and attach the AdministratorAccess policy. Configure the control plane with the appropriate ProviderConfig for provider-aws:

up ctp oidc-auth aws example-project-aws-up-cli arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess \
    --oidc-provider-name example.upbound.io

Show the AWS CLI commands that would be executed to set up OIDC without actually running them:

up project run

Run a project on a development control plane for testing.

The run command builds and runs a project on a development control plane for testing.

This command:

Builds all embedded functions defined in the project
Creates or uses an existing development control plane
Pushes packages to the container registry
Installs the project configuration on the control plane
Updates kubeconfig to use the development control plane

Development Control Planes

There are two kinds of development control planes:

Local development control planes, which run in a KIND cluster on the development machine.
Cloud development control planes, which run in Upbound Cloud Spaces.

Cloud development control planes are used by default when the current up context is an Upbound Cloud Space. Use up ctx to update the current context. Local development control planes are used by default otherwise, and can be explicitly requested using the --local flag.

It is also possible to run a project on an arbitrary UXP cluster referenced by the current kubeconfig context by using the --use-current-context flag. Note that this can be destructive, as it will create resources and install packages in your cluster; it is not recommended to use up project run on shared or production clusters.

Examples

Run the project using the default development control plane type (see above):

up project run

Run the project on a control plane with a specific name, using the default type. The control plane will be created if it doesn't exist:

up project run --control-plane-name=my-dev-cp

Force a local development control plane to be used instead of a cloud development control plane:

up project run --local

Create a local development control plane with an ingress controller enabled. The Web UI will be accessible at localhost on a randomly assigned port:

up project run --local --ingress

Create a local development control plane with ingress mapped to specific port. The Web UI will be accessible at http://127-0-0-1.nip.io:8080:

up project run --local --ingress --ingress-port=8080:80

Run a project using the current kubeconfig context:

up project run --use-current-context

Override the repository specified in the project file to push to a different container registry. Note that when using a local development control plane packages are side-loaded, avoiding the need to push:

up project run --repository=xpkg.upbound.io/example/my-project

Run on a Spaces control plane with a specific name, allowing a non-development control plane to be used. This works with disconnected Spaces as well as Cloud Spaces:

up project run --force --control-plane-name=my-cp

Usage

up xpkg <command> [flags]

up xpkg append

Append additional files to an xpkg.

The append command creates a tarball from a local directory of additional package assets, such as images or documentation, and appends them to a remote package.

If your remote image is already signed, this command will invalidate current signatures and the updated image will need to be re-signed.

Examples

Add all files from ./extensions to a remote image and create a new index with the extensions included:

up alpha xpkg-append --extensions-root=./extensions \
    registry.example.com/my-organization/my-repo@sha256:digest

Add documentation files to a package and save to a different tag, preserving the original package at the source reference:

up alpha xpkg-append --extensions-root=./docs \
    --destination=registry.example.com/my-organization/my-repo:v1.0.1 \
