> I understand that K8 does many things but its also how you look at the problem. K8 does one thing well, manage complex distributed systems such as knowing when to scale up and down if you so choose and when to start up new pods when they fail.

Also, in the sense of "many small components that each do one thing well", k8s is even more Unix-like than Unix in that almost everything in k8s is just a controller for a specific resource type.
