Not sure about the GP, but for me, it's a pretty big difference jumping from tools like docker to ones like buildah, microk8s— I feel like k8s really makes good on many of the original promises of the "container revolution" in terms of automatic provisioning/scaling/image lifecycle management, declaratively defining relationships between containers, adding a much needed upper layer of abstraction in terms of the pod, etc.

I know docker has made it part of the way there over the years with Compose and so on, but it's all felt pretty ad-hoc, whereas k8s feels like a cohesive system designed against a clear vision (which makes sense, since it was designed as borg 2.0)— no one else working in this space had the benefit of having already built a giant system for it and used it at scale for years beforehand.
