I believe kubernetes is a little misunderstood- kubernetes is not software, and is not an abstraction on top of cloud. It’s an attempt at creating a standard-ish API for cloud. It’s currently being implemented as an abstraction on top of existing systems, because cloud providers have to leverage what they have and because its API still lacks all the functionality. But gradually it became a managed service that can provision databases, etc, and in another 5-10 years most cloud interactions will happen through it
