    Nomad is well suited for organizations who wish to tackle the problem of cloud computing with as little opinion as possible. Where competing tools like Kubernetes limit the concept of "batteries included," Nomad relies on engineers understanding the missing components and filling them in as necessary. The benefit of Nomad is the ability to build a system out of small pieces with the cost of having more complexity at a system level compared to alternatives.

    RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

    Pros
    IBM
    • Nomad is incredibly simple by nature, following the Linux philosophy of doing one thing great. That one thing for Nomad is job scheduling.
    • Nomad is a modern tool, written in Go with a large community and maintained by HashiCorp.
    • Implementation of Nomad is very simple since it is a single binary.

    • Multiclick provisioning of resources makes it super easy to manage pods and deployments. We don't have to maintain code for the same
    • In built security features and customizability ensures that organization wide standards are integrated well into the containers
    • Automated backups, scale ups and fail recovery makes sure of minimal down time

    Cons
    IBM
    • Nomad only handles one part of a full platform. Expertise and vision are required in implementing an entire system that is functional enough for an organization to rely on. This includes other tools to handle things like secrets, service discovery, network routing, etc.
    • Nomad is delayed in some modern functionality, like features for service-mesh and open tracing. These features are on the tool's roadmap, but there's currently no native support. These paradigms can be established still, but require more expertise outside of Nomad itself.
    • Nomad is not the leading tool for this space, and as such risks being left behind by tools with much greater support, such as Kubernetes.

    • I wish it had better compatibility with docker file syntax. We had issues when it couldn't build standard docker files
    • Wish it had better documentation
    • Wish they offered fully supported client libraries for the Openshift API rather than dumping it on a 3rd party

    Nomad's primary competitor is Kubernetes, specifically its scheduling component. Kubernetes is a much more complete system that will handle more things than job scheduling, including service discovery, secrets management, and service routing. There also exists a much larger community support for Kubernetes vs Nomad. One might say Kubernetes is the safer choice between the two. Kubernetes is the complete "operating system" for cloud computing, but with it includes complexities that are "Kubernetes" specific. The decision really comes down to a mindset of monolith vs components. With Kubernetes, I would argue you choose the entire system as a whole. With Nomad, you design your system piece by piece. There is no wrong answer.

    We evaluated a number of potential solutions and ultimately chose Red Hat OpenShift because it was compatible with our existing technology. Time and costs savings have been realized throughout the company since we implemented Red Hat OpenShift, and the IT department has been freed up to focus on activities that are more valuable.

    • Nomad has allowed our organization to deploy quicker and more frequently with a lower failure rate.
    • Nomad has brought in consistency from an operations perspective.
    • Nomad's performance allows us to scale infinitely while providing functionality that reduces mean time to repair (canary deploys, versioning, rollbacks, etc).
