Nomad does not seem much simpler to me (especially because you basically have to pair it with Consul and Vault)

Hi, Nomad PM here - We've gotten this feedback a lot and have been taking steps to respond to it. We added simple service discovery in Nomad 1.3 and health checks and load balancing shortly after. So you shouldn't need Consul until you want a full service mesh. And then in Nomad 1.4, which just launched, we added Nomad Variables. These can be used for basic secrets & config management. It isn't a full on replacement for Vault, but it should give people the basic functionality to get off the ground.

So going forward we won't have a de factor dependency on these other tools, and hopefully we can live up to the promise of simplicity.
