We look at K8s more like "the Cloud Operating System". Many of its capabilities are more valuable for other runtimes, but that doesn't mean that Elixir is a bad fit with it.

For example, the Erlang VM clustering can make use of K8s for Service Discovery. You can do ephemeral containers and use readiness probes to create a " hand over" period where new instances can sync their data from old, about-to-be-replaced instances.
