Ask HN: Simple cluster self-healing system?

I would recommend you to consider the following "simpler-than-Kubernetes" containerized workload orchestrators: Swarm (https://github.com/docker/swarm) and somewhat more complex Nomad (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad). Perhaps, even simpler orchestrators exist. If you're OK with having some vendor lock-in, you could also consider Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) or AWS Fargate or Azure Container Instances (ACI).

Thank you for suggestions

You're welcome. Happy to help.

If you're planning to run your own cluster, throw out the word simple. If you want simple, pay GCP or AWS for their solutions.

No, that's a simple throw away response

To further clarify all I need is a system to:

- ask for task heartbeat

- make sure nodes in cluster pingable

- run N copies of task on reachable hosts

That's it.
