Nomad will still get you where you need to be. Aside from vm live migration i am yet to find a good example of a workload where nomad is straight up is unable to do what you need.
- darkwater 5y agoYou mean you run VMs inside... Kubernetes? Am I misunderstanding something here?
- proxysna 5y agoNot only k8s, but i ran VM's with both Nomad and K8s. Nomad supports VM workloads out of the box. K8s requires Kubevirt [0]. [0] https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/qemu https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/qemu [1] https://kubevirt.io/ https://kubevirt.io/
- darkwater 5y agoI knew about nomad (and it makes sense given it has from the start a more corporate, on-prem audience), didn't know/remember about KubeVirt. Hopefully I won't have any use for it in my scenario but thanks for the link!
- creshal 5y agoWhat do you even still use VMs for?
- proxysna 5y agoAnything that needs a kernel module (OpenVPN with tap for example) is better off as a separate VM. Or anything that is not linux, so BSD, Illumos etc. Also I am using Nomad over baremetal to create VM's with Nomad clients onboard. Kind of a messy setup, but works really well for me.
