The big cloud providers have Kubernetes controllers that can provision databases and other services based on Kubernetes resources, e.g. the GCP Config Connector. Your developers can pretty much do everything through k8s abstractions - given sufficiently large platform team to set it all up.

- mountainriver 4y agoyeah kinda, you are then using k8s as very durable storage which goes against the "cluster as cattle" principle. I've tried crossplane and ACK, both of which feel mildly terrifying to treat k8s in that manner. Terraforms way of just using any old object store feels a lot more durable and lighter
