Nomad: Lightweight Orchestration That Complements Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Claims Nomad is a lightweight HashiCorp orchestrator delivered as a single binary that schedules Docker containers, virtual machines and raw executables, not just pods. Demo runs nomad in dev mode with nomad agent dev, submits an HCL job file to deploy nginx, sees a created allocation in the UI, inspects logs and execs into the container, then scales the task group to three with nomad job scale to show the scheduler places additional allocations successfully.
