They’re completely different. Kubernetes is where you run apps. It shedules entire apps onto a set of nodes. Akka cluster IS the app. It runs on a set of nodes, and leverages health mechanisms to be able to smartly balance load and actors across them.
Akka cluster apps are the apps that kubernetes would schedule. Akka cluster then does more fine-grained things internally. For k8s though, it’s “an app”.
