I’d be very surprised if any edge compute systems run on (a single) K8s cluster. In nearly all cases you’d run at least a cluster per region. K8s also provides no functionality for per region routing or networking between clusters.
That is to say, for most of what fly gives you there is no K8s equivalent.

Some PaaS do use K8S as an underlying orchestrator for workloads, the same way Fly uses Hashicorp's Nomad, with multiple clusters per region. Kubernetes does have federation/multi-cluster abilities, and global routing/load balancing is available from every CDN and cloud. It's more work to setup but not by that much.
