kindplane dump

kindplane dump¶

Export Crossplane and related resources from the cluster

Synopsis¶

Export Crossplane and related resources from a Kind cluster in a GitOps-friendly format.

This command exports: - Crossplane Providers, ProviderConfigs, Configurations, Functions - CompositeResourceDefinitions (XRDs) and Compositions - Composite Resources (XRs) and Claims (optional discovery) - External Secrets Operator SecretStores and ExternalSecrets - Custom namespaces, Secrets (redacted), and ConfigMaps - Kind cluster configuration (kind-config.yaml) for cluster recreation

The exported resources are cleaned for GitOps: - Cluster-specific metadata removed (uid, resourceVersion, managedFields) - Unnecessary annotations stripped (kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration) - Secret data redacted with placeholders - Status fields removed
