2020 indicator would be great.<p>I recently looked closer into my billing data for GKE (Google managed Kubernetes) and was astounded by the overhead taken up just by the Kubernetes internals. Something like 10-20%. It might be better if using bigger node types.<p>how does Nomad compares on this front?

Cloudflare also did a talk on this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hashicorp.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;how-nomad-and-consul-are-being-used-at-cloudflare" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hashicorp.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;how-nomad-and-consul-are...</a>

While Cloudflare does run Nomad, a lot of services run on Kubernetes as well[1]. Different tools for different use cases.<p>(Disclaimer: engineer at Cloudflare, and author of blog post linked below.)<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;high-availability-load-balancers-with-maglev&#x2F;#kubernetes-integration" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;high-availability-load-balancers...</a>

The developers at riot games are also always swooning over Nomad and have published quite a couple of talks on YouTube as well as articles on their dev blog.<p>I’ve looked into kubernetes but after I got it all going I decided it’s not worth the complexity. Same experience as installing gentoo :-)

Well written article and great reminder that Kubernetes is not the answer to everything.

Out of curiosity, has anyone here used Nomad for a <i>home</i> server? Right now my home &quot;server&quot; is six NVidia Jetsons running Docker Swarm, which works but I feel like Swarm isn&#x27;t getting the same priority from Docker as some of the other orchestration things out there.<p>I tried using Kubernetes, but that was a lot of work for a home server, and so I went back to Swarm. Is Nomad appreciably easier to set up?

This is exactly the reason she I&#x27;m having a tedious time for needing to learn k8s for my work :(
