Just throwing this out there: Since Nomad 1.3, Consul is no longer required for Service Discovery, and since 1.4 Vault will no longer be needed for KV secrets.

Just throwing this out there: Since Nomad 1.3, Consul is no longer required for Service Discovery, and since 1.4 Vault will no longer be needed for KV secrets. And for what it's worth, i used to run Nomad+Consul in production on bare metal and it was easy to setup (2x 3 servers with a binary to start with some basic conf) and maintain (an update every month or so, which consisted of upgrading the binary on each node and restarting the service after 5 mins of reading the release notes).
