Nomad vs. Kubernetes: Picking the Right Tool in 2022

• kubernetes

  657 106,778 10.0 Go

  Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

  

The widespread use of cloud-native applications, and therefore containers, has resulted in the development of numerous container orchestration tools, among which HashiCorp’s Nomad and Kubernetes stand out.

• Nomad

  94 14,398 9.9 Go

  Nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that can deploy a mix of microservice, batch, containerized, and non-containerized applications. Nomad is easy to operate and scale and has native Consul and Vault integrations.

• field-workshops-nomad

  1 54 7.5 Shell

  Slides, Instructor Guides and Instruqt Tracks for Nomad Field Workshops

  

On the other hand, Nomad does not have exclusive events, at least not like KubeCon. Instead, HashiCorp's community strategy is to hold HashiTalks, in which the different solutions offered by the company, including Nomad, are discussed. In addition, HashiCorp holds Nomad Field Workshops and extensive documentation to help both instructors and students learn about this innovative platform.

• prometheus

  381 52,748 9.9 Go

  The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

  

On the other hand, there are tools such as Prometheus and Grafana that seek to improve the visibility and monitoring of your workloads. These tools are available for both Nomad and Kubernetes.

• Grafana

  379 60,279 10.0 TypeScript

  The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

• devspace-plugin-loft

  57 19 7.1

  Loft Plugin for DevSpace - adds commands like `devspace create space` or `devspace create vcluster` to DevSpace

  

That said, there is no denying that the popularity of Kubernetes drives the development of powerful integration tools such as Loft, which takes the multi-tenancy and self-service capabilities of Kubernetes to the next level.

• k3s

  291 26,405 9.6 Go

  Lightweight Kubernetes

  

Having said that, there are also variations of Kubernetes like K3s built for IoT and edge computing that are very easy to deploy. Additionally, major cloud providers offer managed Kubernetes solutions that allow you to deploy clusters with a few clicks.

• InfluxDB
