Yes! If one uses something like Kubeless[1], you have something like AWS Lambda, but where the backend is Kubernetes rather than AWS. Yes you're still on a framework, but it's a vendor-agnostic, open-source one. There are some other attempts at similar things, too. I am partial to this one for now.

This is what I see as the true power of kubernetes -- once people start developing high quality (hopefully open source) applications for platforms like kubernetes, providers like AWS should lose their "value-added" benefits, and be reduced to more like colo providers, maybe offering 24/7 support as well.

That will be when the ubiquitous cloud truly arrives -- run on whatever provider in the sky, and as long as they run kubernetes you can run your workloads there.
