Can Salesforce run in an on Premises Kubernetes Cluster?

I am in charge of setting up Kubernetes for my IT Department. I am getting close to being done and I presented it yesterday.

I got a question asking if Kubernetes could be leveraged with Salesforce. I don't know much about Salesforce, so I am unsure. I thought Salesforce was a hosted product. Meaning it was something you can't use outside of Salesforce's platform. But I don't really know and as such I don't want to say "yes" or "no" yet.

Can a Salesforce website run in a Docker Container? Can it run in an on-premises Kubernetes Cluster? (Maybe there is a way to connect the cluster with the Salesforce platform?)
