As a counterpoint I manage multiple HashiStack clusters in production with little overhead — it's not a nightmare. I am a Kubernetes refugee and Nomad is such a better experience with batteries included.
Nomad now has its own service discovery (along with secure variables coming in 1.4.0) so you won't actually need Consul and Vault anymore. This is perfect for smaller deployments like on a Raspberry Pi.
- jdoss 4y agoI came to say pretty much the same thing. Nomad is awesome software. I use Nomad at work for internal workloads and automating its deployment with TLS + Consul is wayyyyyyy easier than k8s. I am really looking forward to 1.4.0. Also, I made some automation for setting up Nomad on a single Fedora CoreOS server (still kind of a work in progress) if anyone wants to give it a try. https://github.com/quickvm/butane-nomad https://github.com/quickvm/butane-nomad
- sidlls 4y agoAre your clusters at the same scale as Robinhood or Roblox? We’re talking many millions of inbound requests per second generating multiples of that on internal service calls. Nomad, Consul and Vault work find at small to medium scales. Sometimes. If things are working really well and there aren’t any real problems on the network. It’s very fragile, though, and tends to shit itself under the slightest bit of abnormal pressure.
- tjr225 4y agoExactly this; I would be knocking on all kinds of wood if you’ve had nothing but success with anything Consul/Vault/raft backed. Either that or beefing up your consul server ec2 instance types as soon as possible.
