Or mesos/marathon, though I'm in no way qualified to make comparisons vs k8s. I am qualified to make that comparison, and Mesosphere all the way. Rapid, no bullshit deploy, not having to deal with key stack components being alpha, simple management, wide support (including running k8s on mesos if you are so inclined). There is a very long list of why mesosphere can be considered to be a stable and mature product. Every time I work with k8s I think "this is cool and all, but absolutely not ready for production use" - and in my book production use means not needing a small army of sysadmins (sorry, SME's) to keep it running, not changing core components every change of the moonphase, the majority of core components being stable and battle-tested, and a learning curve that doesn't look like a altitude-vs-time plot of the latest SpaceX launch.
