K8s just drowns out all other options. Hashicorp Nomad is great, https://www.nomadproject.io/

I am puzzled by the fact that no successful forks of Nomad and Consul have emerged since the licence change and acquisition of Hashicorp.

If you need a quick scheduler, orchestrator and services control pane without fully embracing containers you might soon be out of luck.

Thumbs up for Nomad. We've been running it for about 3 years in prod now and it hasn't failed us a single time.

Nomad was amazing at every step of my experiments on it, except one. Simply including a file from the Nomad control to the Nomad host is... impossible? I saw indications of how to tell the host to get it from a file host, and I saw people complaining that they had to do it through the file host, with the response being security (I have thoughts about this and so did the complainants).

I was rather baffled to an extent. I was just trying to push a configuration file that would be the primary difference between a couple otherwise samey apps.

https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.6.0/website/conte... seems to have existed since before the license rug-pull. However I'm open to there being some miscommunication because https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/glossary doesn't mention the word "control" and the word "host" could mean any number of things in this context

		+1 to miscommunication, but host_volume is indeed what I’ve used to allow host files into the chroot. Not all drivers support it, and there are some nomad config implications, but it otherwise works great for storing db’s or configurations.
