No. For starters, Ansible playbooks don't allow you to dynamically deploy and redeploy a set of containers in the node that at a given moment happens to have more available computational resources such as bandwidth, nor do teu respawn a container that just happened to crash.
Arguably Ansible only implementos a single feature of Kubernetes: deploy an application. Even so, while with Ansible you need to know and check all details about the underlying platform, with Kubernetes in essence you only need to say "please run x instantes of these containers".
