Not sure what you mean here.
Kubernetes is designed to be cloud and vendor agnostic.
And RDS is a hosted database that you connect to from your application. Whether that applications runs standalone, in a container or VM is irrelevant.

- dtech 6y agoWe've migrated from Heroku to EKS using Terraform to set it up. We done a small PoC for Azure, and within a day we had a small cluster and one of our apps running. The app terraform code required only 1 variable change. Sure, it's far from drop & replace, but "completely different" is a huge misrepresentation in my experience. Running multi-cloud seemed quite doable.
