K8s is in one sense a convergence engine, bringing container resources across a cluster into line with a given desired state. So why not cloud resources too?

K8s is in one sense a convergence engine, bringing container resources across a cluster into line with a given desired state. So why not cloud resources too? Having to run a cluster to do so doesn't feel quite right, however. But then if you're using Terraform - which is the most popular "cloud convergence engine" - you've probably provisioned compute resources with which to run Terraform. So not that strange.
