Does Kubernetes support VM / node provisioning & management?
To my understanding Kubernetes is a container orchestration service comparable to AWS ECS or Docker Swarm. Yet there are several high rated questions on stackoverflow that compare it to CloudFoundry which is a plattform orchestration service.
This means that CloudFoundry can take care of the VM layer, updating and provisioning VMs while moving containers avoiding downtime. Therefore the comparison to Kubernetes makes limited sense to my understanding.
Am I misunderstanding something, does Kubernetes support provisioning and managing the VM layer too?
Yes, you can manage VMs with KuberVirt as @AbdennourTOUMI pointed out. However, Kubernetes focuses on container orchestration and it also interacts with cloud providers to provision things like Load Balancers that can direct traffic to a cluster.
Cloud Foundry is a PaaS that provides much more than Kubernetes at the lower level. Kubernetes can run on top of an IaaS like AWS together with something like OpenShift
