As a cloud engineer in the UK, it's almost required these days to know K8s in one form or another. I wish it wasn't the case, but I think the battle is over.

- sgt 6y agoLearning k8s is not a problem, but if you are faced with the decision to implement either k8s or Nomad at a company, it's worth evaluating both and what fits better for your team. Recruitment should not be an issue since anyone who understands k8s should be able to grasp Nomad, and vice versa (although in the latter case, with much more effort).
- AnxiousCoward 6y agoOnce you get to a place where you need to run really-really huge workloads, like thousands or tens of thousands of machines, kubernetes, hosted or not, will take the will to live away from you. It's not about the learning curve, or the convenience, it's that kubernetes gets slow to catch up on large workloads that need to change often. That kind of setup is where nomad + consul + vault + terraform shine.
