Ask HN: How do you think Elixir/OTP will fare in a world conquered by K8S?

How do you think Elixir/OTP will fare in a world of microservices where Kubernetes is by and large the de facto orchestration technology? I've been reading up on Elixir/OTP and as I'm amazed to see that many of the orchestration/High Availability/Monitoring functionality that K8S and the likes brought to the table with microservices paradigm where already invented by Erlang/OTP about 30 years ago and broght back to light today with Elixir. Yet I don't understand 1. why they had to be reinvented (e.g. why google not reusing OTP and writing Borg/K8S from scratch and 2. is there any viability in this coming back now that the deployment space is taken over by K8S or AWS-specific orchestration solutions?
