We need to do self hosted Kubernetes and after evaluating it (not deployed to production yet), we considered the training and costs of running, and came to the conclusion that our needs are met by Nomad [1].

It is also a cluster management tool, but much simpler and can be combined with other tools to make it just as powerful as Kubernetes.

That looks very interesting. I like their solution to running stateful applications. They only schedule containers on nodes that have the requested volume. Of course the downside is that you need to manage the volumes manually which is perfectly reasonable because I only need 3 nodes for high availability.
