Thanks! I get it — no need to install binaries of specific servers.

  Double check whether you think of the correct abstraction level. The BEAM is more like the JVM than Kubernetes.

    One of the most interesting characteristics of the BEAM, in my opinion, is that it's similar to both. As a memory-managed bytecode runtime it's similar to the JVM, and as a distributed process orchestrator+discovery and RPC system, it's similar to Kubernetes. I often wonder what would have happened if the "BEAM renaissance" (driven largely by the birth of Elixir and associated tools) had happened a decade earlier, before Kubernetes became the de-facto standard for ad-hoc distributed computing in web software.
