Seconded. Hashicorp Nomad has been a breath of fresh air for doing HA deployments for my workloads. Getting a small cluster setup to self host Nomad is so easier than Kubernetes and defining workloads is much easier to understand too IMO.

The only negatives about Nomad is the Hashicorp license drama that has happened recently and persistent storage can be a pain in the ass.

I hope somebody can elaborate on the licensing problem? I see a community edition...

They changed to the BDL from the MPL https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq which in FOSS culture is considered a dick move.

They pulled the rug out on a lot of people and people tend to hold grudges. Community edition is peanuts compared to using an open source tool you _could have_ fixed your own bugs with by creating PRs or adding features with PRs. I used to be a huge hashicorp fanboy... _used to_.

Just to clarify, you can still access the code, submit PRs to add features, etc. The only difference is that during a fixed time period (4 years) you cannot use Nomad to compete with HashiCorp. If you want to do that, you can ask for a license.
