I really like it. K8s seems to have won so I'm always worried Nomad will be shuttered but I'll use it as long as it's supported.


I am fully in bed with Kubernetes professionally and do love it, complexities and all.

However, I will say I feel the Nomad stack is quite good and fills a nice space where full-blown K8s is way overkill or just not the right tool.


It fills another weird niche which is where Kubernetes can't scale _enough,_ especially in large hybrid environments.

We have several thousand hosts in a single cluster across Windows/Linux, all hooked up to Nomad/Consul/Vault and it takes some effort but our team isn't that big and we manage it. With the most recent releases of Nomad and Consul they truly shine at both ends of the spectrum, small/simple and extremely large/extremely complex.
