If you're curious about orchestration concepts in general, something like nomad is a nice way to wade into the pool rather than the whirlpool of obscenity that is k8s.
- bittermandel 3y agoI fully support this! Nomad has a much smaller API surface compared to Kubernetes, at least by default. Expanding Nomad is also much more straight forward.
- abalashov 3y ago+1, Nomad is fantastically simple (but still flexible), and gives you the proper level of insight into the nature of orchestration and distributed container workloads without bogging you down with arbitrary figments of "because Kubernetes" complexity. After spending a day with Nomad, I feel I fully understand how this could get nightmarishly complicated in a Kubernetes way, and what that would look like, and why someone would want that in some situations. All the understanding without pointless but exacting detours.
