Thanks for this!

This would be the very first Tramp method I'm not able to test. I've
worked with kubernetes years ago, but I have no access to kubernetes
clusters anymore. But of course, this shouldn't be an exclusion reason :-)

Have you checked kubernetes-tramp on MELPA, how they correlate?

Another question: Would we really need another Lisp file? Couldn't this
be added to tramp-docker.el (and maybe that file renamed to
tramp-container.el, because it is about container technology)?

What I also miss is something for the documentation, tramp.texi.

Otherwise, I have no objections.

This I would let to people familiar with kubernetes.
