Nomad is very lightweight. It also does nothing near as much as what Kubernetes does. But if all you need is to schedule containers (or other binaries) it does so quite nicely. You generally want to pair it with Consul (as Cloudflare has done) to get service discovery. Consul is also quite lightweight.
