Dynamic scaling is not really even available on a single node kubernetes.

I was thinking more of

Running multiple websites. i.e. 1 application per namespace. Tooling i.e. k9s for looking at logs etc. Upgrading applications etc.

Namespaces exist in Linux [0], they weren’t invented by K8s.

You can view application logs with anything that can read a text file, or journalctl if your distro is using that.

There are many methods of performing application upgrades with minimal downtime.

Namespacing is great; look at how Notepad++ was hacked. They were sharing a non-namespaced deployment with other applications, IIRC.
