When you talk to Consul support engineers, they assume you're using kubernetes, and are confused if you tell them you're using Nomad, _a product that their company makes_.
Nomad will be there when managed k8s gets too expensive. I was looking at it seriously last year for on prem. I chickend put bcz I didn't want to be the only person on my team that understood it. We still don't have a solution, but nomad will be there for when we are ready to progress, regardless of the license.
