Kubernetes is the independent layer on top of cloud services - unsurprisingly it is championed by Google who are #3 in the cloud business, so they have a vested interest in people not being vendor locked to AWS. K8s seems to be doing well.

I have seen this fail in dozens of ways
The idea was to avoid vendor lock and make it "easy" to change the database engine.
A project was on, perhaps 2 years ago, still followed this pattern, but it ended up also adopting somewhere between 10 - 15 AWS services and we never discussed an abstraction layer on top of it.
There are one or two efforts now to create an independent layer on top of cloud services. I have a hard time understanding how that will work outside of basic services.
