Spoiler alert: k8s is not in uncharted territory.

Erlang and its runtime discovered and solved most of the problems in the 80s. We are slowly rediscovering this the same way react discovered the event loop that Windows had discovered in the 90s.

Erlang solved the problem by making a custom VM that abstracts the network away for the most part and is pretty opinionated about how you do that. Kubernetes is not that. I don't see how Erlang is relevant here. You can run Erlang applications on kuberntes, not the other way around.
