For horizontal and automatic scaling, I don't see many other viable alternatives for managing networking, load balancing, configuration and scheduling.

Most server software these days have Kubernetes and helm charts available, since the industry giants focus on it, which means it's here to stay.

It might be worth getting a certification in Kubernetes orchestration management instead, like Rancher or Nomad (with Vault & Consul).

I was just going to mention Nomad, Consul et al. They’re maturing well and Nomad is light on resources.
