Consul is a service mesh, vault is secret storage and nomad is for workload orchestration.

  So relating to things I do know about, consul is like cloud infra, vault is a service for secret storage and nomad is like Kubernetes?

    Consul is like etcd but has some extra features built in like service discovery and l7 proxy so they market it as full blown service mesh a la istio, the other two are spot on

      I think this is more correct. Like Etcd in that it is a distributed kv store with consensus. It has a dns interface that facilitates service discovery but it can be used for so much more. Infrastructure like global locks, coordination or even just a fault tolerant kv database, as it is for vault itself.
