Nomad by HashiCorp
Nomad by HashiCorp is a flexible scheduler and orchestrator designed to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments at scale.
Services
Nomad by HashiCorp provides a simple and flexible scheduler and orchestrator to deploy and manage both containers and non-containerized applications. It allows for the deployment and scaling of applications across various environments, including on-premises systems and cloud services. Nomad supports a wide range of workloads such as Windows, Java, VM, Docker, and more. Additionally, Nomad can natively run batch workloads, manage legacy applications without requiring changes, and globally scale edge deployments using a single-cluster topology.
Products
Nomad is a single binary system with a small resource footprint. It supports a myriad of workloads, enabling users to run legacy applications, static binaries, Java JARs, QEMU virtual machines, and simple OS commands directly. Nomad provides an alternative to Kubernetes for container deployment and scaling, without the associated complexity. It also supports multi-orchestrator patterns and integrates seamlessly with other HashiCorp products such as Consul and Vault, ensuring a complete and flexible operational environment.
Scalability
Nomad's architecture is designed for easy scalability. It employs an optimistically concurrent scheduling strategy, allowing for thousands of container deployments per second. This scalability is further enhanced by native support for batch workloads and the ability to scale edge deployments globally using a simple single-cluster topology. Nomad's integration with Consul and Vault ensures seamless clustering, service registration, and secure access to secrets, which all contribute to its highly scalable and flexible environment.
Integration with HashiCorp Products
Nomad integrates seamlessly with other HashiCorp products like Consul and Vault. Integration with Consul allows for automatic clustering, service registration, and dynamic configuration rendering. This minimizes the operational overhead involved in managing complex systems. Vault integration ensures secure, auditable access to secrets, enhancing the overall security posture of applications managed by Nomad. These integrations enable Nomad to provide a comprehensive orchestration solution that maximizes operational flexibility.
