So what do you use instead of Kubernetes? Docker Swarm? Manually allocating containers on specific machines? Something else?

Here is a thought experiment getting to the other person’s post:

You have 1000 machines. Each runs 1000 containers with an average runtime of 1 hour per container.

Design a scheduler that runs on a single machine with a cold spare. For failover, assume you have access to a reliable RDBMS or relible NFS server.
