HashiCorp Nomad Job Scheduling System

A HashiCorp Nomad Job Scheduling System is a job scheduling system that can support hashicorp nomad job scheduling tasks across hybrid infrastructure environments.

• AKA: Nomad, HashiCorp Nomad, Nomad Orchestrator, Nomad Scheduler, Nomad Workload Orchestration Platform.
• Context:
  • It can typically orchestrate Nomad Jobs across nomad client nodes through nomad scheduling algorithms.
  • It can typically support Nomad Task Drivers including nomad docker drivers, nomad exec drivers, and nomad java drivers.
  • It can typically implement Nomad Bin Packing for nomad resource optimization and nomad placement decisions.
  • It can typically handle Nomad Job Migrations through nomad drain mechanisms and nomad rolling updates.
  • It can typically enable Nomad Federation via nomad multi-region deployments and nomad cross-datacenter scheduling.
  • It can typically integrate with HashiCorp Consul for nomad service discovery and nomad health checking.
  • It can often support Nomad System Jobs for nomad cluster maintenance tasks and nomad daemon deployments.
  • It can often implement Nomad ACL Systems through policies and nomad token management.
  • It can often provide Nomad Autoscaling via policies and nomad target tracking.
  • It can range from being a Single-Region Nomad System to being a Multi-Region Nomad System, depending on its nomad geographic scope.
  • It can range from being a Container-Only Nomad System to being a Multi-Runtime Nomad System, depending on its nomad workload type support.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Nomad System to being a HashiCorp Stack-Integrated System, depending on its nomad ecosystem integration.
  • It can range from being a Small-Scale Nomad Deployment to being a Large-Scale Nomad Deployment, depending on its nomad cluster size.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Nomad Server Components, such as:
    • Nomad Leader Server for nomad cluster coordination.
    • Nomad Follower Servers for nomad high availability.
  • Nomad Client Components, such as:
    • Nomad Client Agent for nomad task execution.
    • Nomad Task Driver Plugins for nomad workload runtime.
  • Production Nomad Deployments, such as:
    • Roblox Nomad Platform managing 200,000+ containers.
    • Cloudflare Nomad Infrastructure across 200+ edge locations.
    • Delphix Nomad System for database virtualization workloads.
  • Nomad Job Types, such as:
    • Nomad Batch Jobs for nomad periodic processing.
    • Nomad Service Jobs for nomad long-running services.
    • Nomad System Jobs for nomad cluster-wide daemons.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Kubernetes System, which requires container-based workloads.
  • Apache Mesos Platform, which uses framework-based scheduling.
  • Docker Swarm System, which provides docker-only orchestration.
  • YARN System, which focuses on big data workloads.
