I korthet

Nomad Orchestration is the skill of using HashiCorp Nomad to schedule and manage jobs (containers, VMs, binaries) across clusters of machines. Used by teams needing Kubernetes flexibility without Kubernetes complexity. Practitioners earn 25-35% premium for infrastructure expertise. Time to mastery: 10-14 weeks. Sits between Kubernetes and traditional CI/CD.

Vad är Nomad Orchestration

Nomad is HashiCorp's flexible workload orchestrator. Unlike Kubernetes (containers only), Nomad can schedule and manage diverse workloads: Docker containers, VMs, raw binaries, Java applications, batch jobs. Jobs are defined in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) and submitted to a Nomad cluster. The cluster makes placement decisions (which machine runs which job) based on resources, constraints, and affinity rules. Nomad integrates with Consul (service discovery), Vault (secrets), and Terraform (infrastructure). It's designed for operators who want orchestration without the Kubernetes learning curve.

❓ Vanliga frågor

When should I use Nomad vs Kubernetes?
Nomad if: heterogeneous workloads (containers + VMs + batch jobs), simpler operations, fewer dependencies. Kubernetes if: all containerized, large ecosystem, battle-tested. Nomad = simpler; K8s = more mature.
Can Nomad run non-Docker workloads?
Yes. Nomad can run Docker, VMs (VMware, Hyper-V), raw binaries, Java, etc. Kubernetes assumes containers. Nomad is more flexible.
How does Nomad handle networking?
Nomad integrates with Consul for service discovery and DNS. Jobs register themselves. Other jobs query Consul to find services. Automatic load balancing via Consul.
What about high availability?
Nomad cluster needs 3+ servers for HA. Servers manage scheduling. Clients run jobs. If server fails, cluster stays up. Raft consensus handles failover.
How do I handle secrets in Nomad?
Use Vault. Nomad integrates with Vault. Jobs request secrets from Vault; Nomad authenticates. Never store secrets in job definitions.
