That would be Hashicorp Nomad.

  Honest question: Is it Nomad? Because I've literally spent a couple hours watching Hashicorp videos on Nomad, and I know how to install and secure it, but I still have no idea what TF Nomad is/does. Maybe a distributed cron, that apparently has the ability to spin up a million containers? Edit because of downvote: No, really, I'm serious. Any references to how Nomad solves the Swarm/K8s problem, because I've spent my spare time this week trying to understand it and still don't know what Nomad even is.

    Nomad is an orchestrator but with less batteries included: https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/nomad/get-started-intro?in=nomad/get-started https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/nomad/get-started-intr... https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes

      Thanks, these help. The first video at the top of the first page of Getting Started, is one of the ones I had watched earlier this week, but on the 5th page of that it's starting to get into the meat. Still working through it, but it is seeming like the answer to "What is Nomad" is: Kind of a clustered systemd. By that I'm thinking of systemd as a whole, with it's abilities to run containers, timers, daemons and dependencies... It answers the swarm/k8s call by having a job runner that can run docker containers.

    Although outdated, and somewhat incomplete (I see no mention of postgresql for the nomad example) -this might help: https://betterprogramming.pub/dockers-voting-app-on-swarm-kubernetes-and-nomad-8835a82050cf https://betterprogramming.pub/dockers-voting-app-on-swarm-ku...

  I like Nomad, but I wish useful features weren't locked in a paid version.
