Nomad supports all sorts of architectures and OSes, including M-series CPUs and MacOS. It can also scale to a lot, 2 million containers being tested. [0]
In terms of autoscaling there's the Nomad Autoscaler[1][2] that is super flexible, can get metrics from a bunch of sources, do custom queries, and perform actions (everything is via plugins, so even if your current stack isn't already supported, it's easy to add) like add extra nodes or add more instances of jobs.

That sounds a lot like what I am looking for. Thank you for the links to reading material!
How does Nomad handle scaling? I'm thinking of a new project, I'd like to have the equivalent of HPA that easily scales to zero on custom metrics and a cluster autoscaler that can easily add heterogenous nodes as necessary. Even better if it can work with MacOS VMs.
