I’m not really sure what containers/k8s has to do with JVM? Containers are just name spacing, not virtualization. If you’re running in the cloud, either way you slice it you’ll have two virtual machines: hypervisor and JVM.

I’d argue that being able to herd your JVM procs like cattle makes them good candidates for k8s because you can always just set resource limits so they get purged when the heap becomes too large.
