K8s solves a far wider problem space. Need to run a data store? Use a StatefulSet and PersistentVolumes. Need an occasional task? Jobs and CronJobs. Need to know what's happening? Metrics and logs have APIs. Load balancing? Ingress? Firewalls? Security?
If someone knew nothing of operating systems other than a class on MINIX, I suspect running a massive datacenter would be easier with k8s than running a medium system of debian boxes.
