IMHO, way beyond the scope of this thread. AFAIK neither Linux nor FreeBSD
are microkernels.

The original question is more like what would it take to run k8s natively
using different jail managers like CBSD and BastilleBSD as drivers?
Does it already exist? maybe: https://github.com/tnorlin/kubernetes
What is the state? What are the limitations?
etc. etc.
