It is possible to run things other than webservices on Kubernetes, but
we have not documented the process for doing this yet. If a tool
maintainer wants to start learning how to use Kubernetes I can try to
provide some help, but currently we don't have the human time
resources to make running arbitrary jobs on Kubernetes a simple as
using jsub. My Stashbot tool is running a python irc bot as a
Kubernetes pod and could be used as an example [0][1]. The upstream
documentation is fairly readable and very comprehensive.

The long term plan for wider Kubernetes use is to select a Platform as
a Service (PaaS) product [2]. One of my goals for the October-December
quarter is to work on collecting a set of evaluation criteria that we
can use to evaluate existing PaaS products [3]. I would love to have
help in doing that.
