they already do in a way through aws-service-operator and replacement aws controllers for kubernetes (ACK)

The ACK operator runs in k8s, but I'm pretty sure RDS instances created via ACK will still run natively in AWS.

ACK is a just a k8s native mechanism for defining the resource and managing its config/state.

More a replacement for Cloudformation or terraform.
