Cisco says 90% of internet traffic goes through Erlang-controlled nodes

OTP is the standard distribution & library of Erlang, and most of the fault tolerance is either that or the core Erlang runtime e.g. supervisors are part of the standard library[0] and the underlying systems are basically built into the language[1].

Distribution is likewise built into the runtime and language, most of the distribution-related BIFs are not only part of the "erlang" module/namespace but also part of its "prelude" (auto-imported in all modules by default).

So no, it is absolutely nothing like kubernetes in relation to go.

I think parent was referring to similarity of k8s to OTP from user's prospective..

People just want k8s to be that marvelous, to have strong supervision tree architecture. I want the same for systemd too. But sadly it's all mess.
