Nomad is primarily used for cluster management and scheduling of containers, VMs, and other workloads. It enables efficient allocation of resources to applications, ensuring high availability and optimal utilization. Nomad provides a declarative job specification format that allows users to define their applications' requirements and dependencies. It supports various types of applications, including long-running services, batch jobs, and system-level tasks. Nomad has native integrations with popular container runtimes like Docker, allowing seamless container orchestration across multiple hosts. It supports auto-scaling based on metrics, ensuring applications can dynamically scale based on demand. Nomad offers a web-based user interface for easy monitoring, troubleshooting, and visualization of job status and cluster health. It provides robust security features, including ACLs (Access Control Lists) for authentication and authorization, and integrates well with external certificate authorities.
