On “Kubernetes besides containers”
Here are a couple of deployments to look into, followed by generally the non-container-based resource they orchestrate:
* Crossplane: cloud resources (e.g. AWS EC2 instances)
* Cluster API: other Kubernetes clusters
* Rancher: similar; other rke2/k3s clusters
* Atlas: database and schemas
* Kubevirt: virtual machines
Take a look at this video. The more general answer is Kubernetes can orchestrate anything that has a Kubernetes controller/operator.
