First off, very cool. I'm a big Hashicorp fan, and have been following Nomad for a while, so it's exciting you hit 1.0!

It seems to me one of the advantages K8s has is that there are multiple "Kubernetes as a Service" services out there, such as EKS on AWS, Google Cloud's offering, even Digital Ocean.

Are there any plans to make Nomad Enterprise more accessible? It seems a managed Nomad hits the sweet spot of simple scheduling, which removes a lot of the K8s bloat for many people.

Thanks! I think you really hit the nail on the head. In a twitter thread I talk about how Nomad 1.0 represents us implementing the "table stakes", the base foundation, for an orchestrator. However, I think what you're noticing is how the table stakes have changed from 5 years ago: orchestrators need hosted options. k8s has push-button support from every major cloud. We can't just ignore that.

And we aren't ignoring that. I have no idea what I can say publicly, so I'll just link to what our cofounder/CTO has already said:

Thanks! I wish Hashicorp the best of luck getting hosted clusters out the door, totally agree with you about table stakes.
