True true, maybe there's just a single part that I was hung up on in parent comment > (a process within the VM can die and K8s will have no idea) I suppose that I see nothing wrong with this and would say that it's not weird or unusual to be the case. They're separate things, although they both achieve visually similar goals (keep things running as much as possible). My point is less about K8s vs Elixir but rather a statement that this seems acceptable and shouldn't be a reason to rule out something like running Elixir on K8s.
