Heron supports Hashicorp's Nomad as a scheduler. You can use Nomad for either small- or large-scale Heron deployments or to run Heron locally in standalone mode.
Update: Heron now supports running on Nomad via raw exec driver and docker driver
Setting up a nomad cluster will not be covered here. See the official Nomad docs for instructions.
Instructions on running Heron on Nomad via raw execs are located here:
