    what would the benefits of k8s be?

    Compared to what? Manually running software on machines? Automatic distribution of work, automatic networking, linking/transfer of resources, etc. I think their scenarios are often oneshot tasks that need to run somewhere and produce results that get used in other tasks or aggregated somewhere, etc.

      There’s decades of effort already done on this kind of software in science. Idk why Kubernetes would suddenly be needed for that.
