Nomad: Past, Present, and Future
summary
Nomad 1.4 is now generally available and adds native service discovery (backed into Nomad so Consul is optional), native health checks (HTTP/TCP checks shown in the UI), and ACL roles plus token TTLs for scalable auth. Nomad variables store encrypted secrets (mTLS in transit, at-rest encryption) with workload identity prefixes to auto-grant task access. Roadmap items: 1.5 SSO and dynamic node metadata; 1.6 node pools and task identities for minting JWTs. Users run single clusters up to 10k+ nodes successfully.
