I only have praise for the HashiStack (Nomad, Consul, Vault). Folks often reach for Kubernetes as part of a larger initiative to containerize their apps, add ephemeral test environments, etc, but I really think Nomad is better suited to this.

Choosing k8s is just the first step - you have to deal with what 'distribution' of k8s to use, upgrades, pages of yaml, secrets stored in plaintext by default...

Once you've got Nomad running, it just works.

I help people move to Nomad, my email is in my profile if you want to chat :)

Or you can pay the price for it and use GKE.

Of course, not for a home lab :)
