If I'm reading this right, this seems like a really interesting and possibly lighter-weight alternative to Packer + Kubernetes. I like this and will give it a whirl.

This is a different thing really. It's a container runtime used under the hood by Docker; rather than a container orchestrator.

I know this is for rkt but it gives a good comparison of container runtimes. https://coreos.com/rkt/docs/latest/rkt-vs-other-projects.htm...

No, you're not reading this correctly. This is not a Packer or Kubernetes alternative. It's merely a container runtime, potentially suitable for integration into a larger system like Kubernetes.

If you read their roadmap, they have a reason for spliting up the engine into a few components, this being one of those.
