You need it to jump around because your RDS database might fail over to a different AZ.
Being able to move workloads around is kinda the point. The need exists irrespective of what you use to deploy your app.

The nice thing about this solution, its not limited to RDS. I used RDS as an example as many are familiar with it and are known to the fact that it will change AZ during maintenance events.
Any hostname for a service in AWS that can relocate to another AZ (for whatever reason), can use this.
