They’re completely different classes of tool - Nomad is a runtime component, Terraform is not.
- MuffinFlavored 6y agobut terraform can talk to the docker daemon and orchestrate containers. what can you achieve with nomad that you can’t achieve with terraform?
- jen20 6y ago- run a non-dockerised job - have a restart policy outside of what the docker daemon offers - automatically schedule across multiple machines based on constraints including affinity and anti-affinity, bin packing etc - “dispatch” jobs The Terraform Docker provider effectively provides a tiny subset of the functionality of Nomad, which provides similar functionality across many drivers, not just Docker.
