From my experience nomad and other hashicorp tools required more learning how to use all the pieces together / figuring out edge cases / debugging. K8s was definitely easier to setup. I feel like nomad is appealing to people who don't really need orchestration but feel like they do. It's perfectly fine to run apps with just docker. I have small projects on the side which are just a couple of servers with docker: one nginx container pointing at a few docker containers containing some services. Once my needs grow, I'll just roll them over to k8s.

I can't imagine any production setup of Kubernetes from scratch ( not managed by a cloud provider) being easier, initially or on day 2, than Nomad+Consul+Vault, but maybe i'm missing something.

  Simpler option for k8s are available: - Charmed Kubernetes (Juju) https://jaas.ai/canonical-kubernetes https://jaas.ai/canonical-kubernetes - Mikrok8s https://microk8s.io/ https://microk8s.io/

    I wouldn't consider any of these for production.
