Thanks for sharing. In your example Crossplane is running in EKS cluster with name EKS_CLUSTER_NAME, right ? I cannot use this example if I run Crossplane cluster on Azure AKS or GCP GKE ?

Yes and no.

My tutorial is based on AWS EKS and IRSA is a EKS feature. So you can't simply follow my tutorial in Azure AKS or GCP GKE.

However it is possible that you use Azure or GCP K8S to provision AWS infrastructure. You need to provide a static AWS credential instead of using IRSA feature, which you can checkout Crossplane documentation for details.

Yes this I know. Are you aware about similar features as IRSA in Azure and GCP ?
I know that you can use eg Hashicorp Vault as mentioned in XP documentation but I like IRSA a lot. It is very simple solution comparing to quite advanced vault.
