what I find amazing about k8s is that it's one of the first solution that is relativly simple for a small cluster (HA, while schedule stuff on the masters), but can scale amazingly well even for a big cluster. you can start with 3 nodes with like 8gb per machine (or less, I guess even 2gb is feasible if you only want to use like 1-1,5gb of memory per machine). (non ha can of course be smaller)

The Nomad executable is self contained and less than 15MB if I remember correctly. It can be used with Docker containers, shell scripts, or just raw executables.

It was dead simple to install and use compared to my brief experience with k8s.
