The defining featureset of K8s is orchestration/provisioning/control, not mere containerization or even distribution over a network. Plan9 addresses the latter in a rather clean and elegant way but says nothing specifically about the former. The Linux kernel has grown namespacing features and user-space implementations of kernel-side API's that are, on the whole, quite reminiscent of Plan9 already. Of course, this has been done in a rather ad hoc, inelegant and arguably incomplete fashion.
