Kubernetes has emerged as a dominant force in container orchestration, offering numerous features for managing containerized applications. However, its suitability varies depending on the use case. This paper explores scenarios where Kubernetes may not be the optimal choice and discusses alternative solutions. Real-world case studies from the financial, banking, and artificial intelligence sectors are presented to illustrate decision-making processes when considering Kubernetes for different deployment scenarios.
