cloud-nuke VS Nomad

- https://gruntwork.io/ - https://github.com/gruntwork-io

After discussing the testing approaches suggested by the two IaC providers Terraform and Pulumi, in the next post we will take a look at the dedicated IaC testing providers takes on this topic. Here we will have a look at Gruntwork and Snyk. So, stay tuned if you are interessted!

Or your working on gruntwork.io company, this is the only the thing that makes ok all what you say here. However I believe they can make better product instead of angry chat on reddit without getting in details.

Like others have said, your infra might itself be the product.

Look at https://gruntwork.io.

They’ve made a lucrative business by selling infra scripts that others can use.

And their subscription model means they keep the scripts up to date.

Have been checking out terragrunt and terratest lately(part of https://gruntwork.io)

Gruntwork | Software Engineers (Principal, Staff) | 100% Remote/US time zones | Full-time | https://gruntwork.io/

We aim to improve humanity's most important invention: Software. Our product enables software teams to launch and maintain production-grade cloud infrastructure in days, not months. We create the building blocks that devs use to make launching in AWS with infrastructure as code 10x better.

We work with AWS, K8s, Terraform, Go, Typescript, and React/Next. We’re a small team (~20 people), but our clients include Toyota, Adobe, TicketMaster, Verizon, and lots of startups.

We are profitable, self-funded (no investors, no debt), pay salaries, equity, and bonuses according to transparent formulas, and are very focused on building a company we're proud of. We are 100% remote, with 2/3 of our team in the USA and 1/3 in Europe. We have company-wide in-person meetups every few months. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Our measure of a successful Grunt is (1) think like an owner, (2) make impact, (3) communicate effectively, (4) be a good person. If this sounds like you, we're hiring!

Most people hesitate to use cloud hosted offerings for development. First of all, most providers have a generous free tier for devs, which can get you started. Secondly I recommend using tools like cloudnuke to avoid paying for cloud resources you're not using.

I don't have any further insight, but looking at <https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page...> coughed up https://github.com/atlassian/nomad/branches although confusingly it says "updated last week" but browsing any one of the branches seems to be stupid old so I got nothing

Finding conceptual forks, e.g. $(git push --mirror ...) would be trickier but I bet sourcegraph could do it

Ultimately, the question boils down to: what risk are you driving down: hitching your wagon to a dead stack, not getting security updates, not getting PRs merged, $other?

In previous post, we discussed creating a basic Nomad cluster in the Vultr cloud. Here, we will use the cluster created to deploy a load-balanced sample web app using the service discovery capability of Nomad and its native integration with the Traefik load balancer. The source code is available here for the reference.

Nomad is really awesome!

I only heard of this today, but it looks really interesting. It seems to finally get Kubernetes a bit closer to something like https://www.nomadproject.io/ in terms of complexity to install and operate.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of container orchestration and management, two prominent players have emerged: Kubernetes and HashiCorp's Nomad. While Kubernetes has gained widespread adoption and popularity, Nomad provides a compelling alternative that stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using Nomad over Kubernetes and why it might be the right choice for certain use cases.

I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....

Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

Could this be a solution? nomad

It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.

The related issue is https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10220

While I do understand the reasoning in their FAQ on the subject (https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq). I however failed to noticed those intentions in their license text (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/commit/b3e30b1dfa185d9437...).

Specifically the part in FAQ which says "internal production use is fine", but then license says that "non-production use only" and then "You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.".

IANAL, but even to me this statement is full loopholes. WHO do we consider 3rd party? WHAT do we consider "hosted or embedded basis"? WHEN do we consider it "competitive with Hashicorps products"?
