In the IaC tooling/framework workd, there is a growing/emerging trend of turning k8s cluster into an universal control plane. CNCF project Crossplane and AWS initiative of ACK (AWS Controller for K8s) are 2 examples. There is even an community effort of combing AWS CDK8s with Crossplane to provide the same benefit Pulumi/CDK which is to allow user using their family programming language for IaC tasks. I'm wondering if there is a similar initiative in pulumi world to combine pulumi with Crossplane?

The Pulumi kubernetes operator is our chosen mechanism to use the kubernetes control loop. We have no plans to create bindings for crossplane
