What do you mean? You can do exactly that today, with persistent volume claims. K8s will create the storage volume for you and make it available for containers. This is "dynamic provisioning".

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volum...

What is missing is being able to create other resources. For instance, define a EC2 instance as a k8s object and have K8s provision it, for legacy or anything you haven't moved to K8s yet(databases, etc). I see no technical reason why it cannot be implemented today.
