when you ask for a DB you get an instance of RDS/CloudSQL/etc., in other words you are using the managed services of your cloud provider.

we're just getting started with cross-cloud scenarios. would love your feedback on https://github.com/crossplaneio/crossplane

Oh, I get it. Reading the design document[0] helped greatly. Should've done more than skim the blogpost. The definition of what you want is specified as a custom resource that is cloud-agnostic. Then a set of cloud-specific custom controllers are installed on a K8s instance and they control which cloud is affected by your `kubectl apply`.

You have to set up your own k8s manually (there's no way to bootstrap), but then it's all fun and games.

Nice. Very clever.
