@bowen I am obliged to you for bringing this in our community.
I am writing this as soon as I could.
Did you get help on this? If not, Please follow my update:
-----------------------------------------
Since this request is made on the legacy Cloudera Lineup - CDH6.x, Before we go about the architectural advisory I regret to inform you that CDH6.x is announced to be EoS(End-Of-Support) in March 2022.
As a part of this, All associated organizations using Cloudera legacy products such as CDH had received the following announcement directly.
You can find our official Customer Advisory[0a] of the announcement that Cloudera Enterprise 6 reached EoS in March 2022:

Additionally, To answer you on the Architectural aspects, Yes, CDP deployment on K8s is possible. however, You will want to make use of our CDP line-up(that can be deployed on the Openshift Kubernetes on-prem[0c], Or you may follow[0d] for other available Public Cloud platforms).
[0c]
CDP Private Cloud Base for on-premises, is able to be deployed on OpenShift platform.

[0d]
Whereas in CDP Public Cloud, We can make use of AWS, Azure, or GCP that is fully-Kubernetes-deployed on the respective cloud-native platforms.
It is also worth mentioning that CDP features achieving Hybrid-Cloud/Multi-Cloud architecture.
