I don't have a k8s cluster... so zero :-)
I don't have a nomad cluster either, because every time I look at it and start planning out what I would need to do to bootstrap consul+nomad and secure it, it starts to look more like a k8s install.

except that every cluster on GKE or created using kops, kubespray, or even kubernetes the hard way is HA, so it's not like no one is running an HA cluster. I think from k8s point of view, there isn't much to test as etcd is doing all the work.
- zie 8y agoSetup and install is the least of your issues when running something like nomad/k8s in production. The part that matters more, is what's it like to babysit it, and keep it running. I agree people are running k8s HA in production, but there is a reason those people are dedicated k8s engineers. It's because it's a giant pain the ass to keep it running. Hence what I mean when I say it's "operationally complex". Most people using GKE don't actually operate the k8s cluster, they let GKE run it for them. They just use it. Using k8s and using nomad are similar from a developer perspective. Operationally they are night and day different. Anyways, I suggest you go play with both systems, and try them out, put some non-important stuff in production under both of them.
