I am so ready for this!

Constant scale-up/scale-down and dynamic load is what I jump at K8s for personally. Totally see the use-case for what you're talking about.

All-in-all I love K8s and containers, use them myself, and have been really happy with the results. It's just when I've worked with it professionally I don't find my colleagues typically have the skillset (not the fault of the tech).
