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://www.hashicorp.com/resources/how-nomad-and-consul-are-being-used-at-cloudflare" rel="nofollow">https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/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://blog.cloudflare.com/high-availability-load-balancers-with-maglev/#kubernetes-integration" rel="nofollow">https://blog.cloudflare.com/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 :-)
Out of curiosity, has anyone here used Nomad for a <i>home</i> server? Right now my home "server" is six NVidia Jetsons running Docker Swarm, which works but I feel like Swarm isn'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?
