Cloud Tasks <https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/creating-appengine-queues> depend on a GAE project running on a specific region. The app serves as the location for whatever queues are created.
On Kubernetes, you can run Jobs <https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/jobs> or Cron jobs <https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cronjobs>. However, there are differences between these options and App Engine Tasks Queue <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/taskqueue/>. This <https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/knative-bringing-serverless-to-kubernetes-everywhere> and this <https://cloud.google.com/knative/> show that Knative offers eventing functionalities that Kubernetes does not have built in (it runs on top of Kubernetes). However, as per the Knative Event description documented here <https://github.com/knative/eventing> and here <https://knative.dev/docs/eventing/>, it does not seem to share many similarities even though it might be an alternative depending on your use case. In regards to other alternatives, I would suggest you check Cloud Run (currently in Beta) <https://cloud.google.com/run/> and Cloud Scheduler <https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/docs/> as they might also comply to your use case.
