Kubernetes running on DCOS is mentioned, but not treated as a real alternative. Kubernetes can run as an app on top of Mesos the same way marathon can. Note: I am a heavy user of Kubernetes, but not Mesos, so I can't comment how well it works. Kubernetes uses "two phase scheduling" and Mesos can be plugged as a second phase (e.g. https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kube-mesos-framework/blob/master/docs/architecture.md https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kube-mesos-framework... seems decent). For me it seems like a perfect combination - on the cloud you utilize cool stuff like GKE or https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-azure-container-instances/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-azure-cont... for phase 2 of schedule, but if your client wants to run your code to run on their servers you can run it on their mesos/dcos deployment.
