Bootiful workload orchestration with Hashicorp Nomad

Martin Ahrer - Independent

What if we had a workload orchestrator that allows to run (legacy) Java applications, container and native workload without having to convert everything into a container?

K8s has become standard for running container workload. It is popular for its flexibility, power and wide industry support but it comes with some costs. This is where Hashicorp Nomad steps in as an alternative when you don’t want to containerize your existing applications.

In this talk attendees get a short intro to Nomad and learn to schedule Java, container, GraalVM native Spring Boot workloads running side by side.
