I spent quite a while with SOA, but I find Kubernetes a little different.
To me, SOA is more about the implementation-- especially the old WSDL-driven part.
But Kubernetes is more about infrastructure. The applications are written in different styles and different languages. K8S is more like a platform than anything else, to me.
Yeah. The basic idea is fine. (Don't write huge monolithic software blobs!) But the term was effectively coopted to be about a lot of specific heavyweight proprietary software and the heavyweight specs associated with them.

That was one of the tragedies of SOA. The S was meant to be service as in windows service but it was co-opted to be service as in web service.
Had it been called Daemon Oriented Architecture things may have turned out differently.
The same thing is playing out now with micro services.
