I love Nomad but having used it in two different roles and now invested time to understand k8s properly, I would absolutely not recommend it.

Nomad is simple on the surface and could have been a great tool - but it is basically unusable on its own without tighter integration with Hashi’s own tools (eg Vault). Configuring and maintaining all those things is nontrivial and ends up being more annoying (for a lesser end result) than just using a fully managed kubernetes cluster like GKE

You'd imagine that any scheduler that's well integrated with Vault would have a huge advantage over other ones. Surprising that it's not like that for another product from the same company.

Vault is highly integrated with K8s via the vault-agent.
