Ask HN: Has anyone moved from Kubernetes to Nomad?
If so, what was your experience? I've been operating a Kubernetes cluster for a while now, and I'm quite happy with it. It does what I want. However, the complexity cost is quite high. That's especially true when developers who without much k8s experience need to interact with a local or staging cluster somehow to debug applications. And of course, the YAML and package management is hell despite (and partly because of) the many templating tools out there. I'm wondering if Nomad could remove some of that complexity or whether it's still early stage and a production setup is just as complex. I'm also wondering how easy it is to deploy common applications (Postgres, Traefik, Prometheus, etc) on Nomad - easy Helm installations are a big selling point of k8s. 1 comments on Hacker News.
