More announcements should start like this one does:
"We are excited to announce that the beta release of HashiCorp Nomad 1.1 is now available. Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments. "
I know I've heard of Nomad but couldn't remember what it does. This explained it perfect! I often see an announcement show up here on HN or on Twitter or my RSS Feed and there's not any mention of what the thing is/does other than what's new.
- hijinks 5y agoI always say Nomad is what Mesos should be if you re-wrote it and fixed the mistakes that caused it to "lose" out to Kubernetes.
- dlandis 5y agoI guess I still don't understand the "why", in terms of why someone would use or be interested in the product. What differentiates it? It would be so helpful if companies talked in terms of some very specific use-cases that their product excels at, and then move to more general capabilities.
- heipei 5y agoThe "why" is in the second sentence: "Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments." If you need a workload orchestrator for heterogeneous workloads (i.e. not just Docker) and need something that is simple then Nomad is for you.
