Nope. K8s is a cluster operating system that happens to fit very well with the microservices architectural model. Packer is a way to create classic VM imgs (this one is similar-ish to Docker but only if you only care about the 10000 feet non-technical-at-all image. Ansible is an infrastructure as a code tool. You deal with mostly classic infra components and compositions of them as code. Putting all them in the same bag is like saying that all programming languages solve the same problem. It's only true if we cut the conversation down to a level where we consider all digital devices as the exact same thing.
