IMO, Nomad was already on life support, putting a nebulous BSL on it is a death sentence.

- fhaldridge7 3y agowhat makes you think so? I didn't use nomad but looked into it recently. The github repo has multiple commits every day and there are new nomad videos on the hashicorp youtube channel every few weeks
- justinclift 3y ago> Nomad was already on life support ... Ouch. Looking at Nomad has been on my ToDo list for ages. What's the better alterative?
- lantry 3y ago"better" is very subjective, but kubernetes is the most popular choice
- SirensOfTitan 3y agoSome managed k8s from a cloud provider, which is fairly close to cloud agnostic compute outside of persistent volumes. The HN trope is "you don't need k8s," but k8s manifests have a lot of mindshare behind them. I'd rather use a managed k8s versus manage my own Nomad pool. Sure, managed k8s is complex for cloud providers, but I can mostly offload that complexity provided I'm not full microservices inside the cluster.
- skinner927 3y agoI’ve yet to find anything that fills the void of running containers, VMs, and whatever else you want to add a “driver” for, in such a simple distribution. You can run nomad on one slow host or 30 monsters. Works great for teams who can’t use the cloud.
- GordonS 3y agoHuh, not sure why you'd think that? Seems to me like it's never been more popular.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y agoNomad has taken the same niche that home-lab Docker clusters had. Docker Swarms ease of use is an advantage over Kubernetes for small setups, but its filled with bugs and basically unsupported. Nomad is a viable replacement for that setup.
