PaaS assumes that the platform has to provide an environment to write applications and deploy them. Can we categorize Kubernetes as PaaS?

I will try to answer without going through the details. The final scope of Kubernetes is to provide a way to deploy containers and organize them (for instance: make sure they are the number required, make sure they are exposed through a service, make sure they are talking together...). We may call this a Caas. Writing, building and consuming container image with applications in it is a standard process. Therefore, to my understanding, the answer is yes. For simple deployment (like mysql wordpress here) it could be straightforward (near to turnkey). And of course become a more complex beast for bigger projects.
