Nomad vs. Kubernetes

> One JSON/YAML file too uwieldy? Generate it using jsonnet/CUE/dhall/your favourite programming language. Or just talk directly to the Kubernetes API. You don't have to use Helm - in fact, you probably shouldn't be using Helm (as the whole idea of text templating YAML is... thoroughly ignorant in understanding what Kubernetes actually is).
Agreed 99%, but there is one useful thing that Helm provides over Kubectl+structured templating (Nix/dhall/whatever): pruning objects that are no longer defined in your manifest.
However, that's solvable without taking on all of Helm's complexity. For example, Thruster[0] (disclaimer: an old prototype of mine) provides a pruning variant of kubectl apply.

Docker Desktop runs dockerd in a Linux VM with Apple's hypervisor framework. You can also run containers in a Linux VM with Parallels or VMware Fusion hypervisors. But you can't run VMs inside those VMs as it stands today. This works fine on Intel Macs which means you can't experiment and use KVM - one of the killer features of Linux and things like https://kubevirt.io/

Proxmox VE can run VMs and LXC containers (see my comment below on LXC). Kubernetes can run OCI containers, but there's also KubeVirt for running VMs.

Another option would be something like KubeVirt but that is a different use case where you are actually running a VM in a container for hard-to-containerize workloads.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing thruster and kubevirt you can also consider the following projects:

nomad-pack

harvester - Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software

k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes

firecracker-containerd - firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs

registrator - Service registry bridge for Docker with pluggable adapters

kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/

lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager [Moved to: https://github.com/canonical/lxd]

cloud-hypervisor - A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.

crossplane - The Cloud Native Control Plane

cilium - eBPF-based Networking, Security, and Observability
