It's not just the configuration format. There is a whole 'Kubernetes runtime' (what they call the 'control loops' aka 'controllers') that runs 24/7 watching the configuration live and making appropriate changes.

Unlike Ansible (and I suspect the others) where it's really only more of a 'run once' type of thing... And sometimes if you try running it a second time it won't even succeed.

Ansible is a little special in how imperative it is, a better comparison is Puppet which is intended to do periodic "convergence" runs, although these are more typically hourly or daily than continuous.
