How can Erlang and Kubernetes be compared at all? I actually don’t understand that.
Erlang is a programming language that allows message passing between concurrent actors. Are you saying that, containers are comparable to actors, and that using IPC between them is equivalent to message passing?
Maybe - but that requires the internet to work. That’s a pretty large dependency to bring into what Erlang does in a single process.
