Watching @HashiCorp Nomad manage 10k servers is... pretty boring actually? The 3 Nomad servers were t2.mediums as were 7 of the client nodes. The other 10k clients are the real Nomad client node code but packed 100 per container across 100 containers on the 7 real nodes.

@jefferai @mashagelfand @NYTGames That’s more like my average time for a mini 😂

For 1000 days, no matter what else was going on in our lives, @mashagelfand and I Got. It. Done. @NYTGames

@_uid0 You should release it as a nomad-pack: github.com/hashicorp/noma…

Very cool to see Nomad + Firecracker becoming a common technology stack for serverless container platforms. @flydotio being another popular one with the same stack.

One of my Nomad buds made a PR to add some examples to Open Telemetry. If you think it's worth adding ("They're good examples, Bront"), the PR needs upvotes to be accepted #issuecomment-875695091" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/open-telemetry…

@vusimoyo_ @HashiCorp I would take a look at Traefik! We use it internally as well. There is a learn guide as well! learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/noma…

Can anybody recommend a @HashiCorp friendly API Gateway? a lot of ones I've seen help with setting up their product but everything else in the docs is geared towards Kubernetes :/ i'm using consul + vault + nomad

@mitchellh @pnegahdar When creating a Cadence workflow (what we use for long running tasks), the input is immutable. So if we need to change the input protobui, we must consider running workflows with the older definition. Cadence supports this with versioning workflows: cadenceworkflow.io/docs/go-client…

@mitchellh @pnegahdar @pnegahdar We don’t have a schema registry to enforce safe migrations like you would use with an event driven system like Kafka. For service to service, we maintain backward compatible protobufs and aggressively deprecate old code across our services once we update the callers.

Someone on HN asked what the internal tech stack for HCP looks like. I’m sure we’ll blog and talk more about this one day (we’re quite proud of it!) but here’s the overview: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=247814…

@rajeevdubey39 Hey Rajeev, I am not sure I follow what you are trying to do. The template stanza will render one file at a time. But you can have multiple of them in a job. There is also the artifact stanza for downloading things from S3, http, etc. it also support archives (zip, tar).

@adadgar Thanks Alex, can we also render/pull directories having all property files using template stanza from Consul?

Is there anything similar as kubernetes configmap in Nomad to avoid dependency of creating host volumes for directory having property files for application #hashicorpnomad

Congrats @qumulo! Interning at Qumolo was actually what got me interested in distributed systems! Was an awesome place to work so super happy for the team. Also now I am 2/2 for working at unicorn 🦄 startups! 😎

@SatishMuthali If you want Nomad agents to talk to consul using TLS you set the TLS settings in the consul config section of the nomad agent: #cert_file" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nomadproject.io/docs/configura…. If you want to have auto TLS between services, that’s when you use connect.

@adadgar - how do I configure Nomad with Consul using TLS? Do I have to use consul connect?

@SatishMuthali That’s awesome! Would be cool to hear what you can share about it. But definitely reach out if you run into anything the Nomad team can help with

@adadgar working on a “secret” project that heavily uses Nomad for GPU accelerated tasks

@pst418 Hey, I’m an engineer on the HCP team 👋 The UI is backed by a public API! We will be make them available via Terraform too!

For the makers of Terraform the HCP Consul demo was scarily browser based. No #GitOps at #HashiConf?

At @Cloudflare, we need to manage a lot of services running on a lot of servers distributed across more than 200 cities worldwide. Here's an inside view on one of the tools we use to do that: @HashiCorp Nomad. blog.cloudflare.com/how-we-use-has…

A lot of people feel paralyzed right now, and rightly so. If you -- like me -- are a white American horrified by police brutality and systematic racism, it's very tempting to add your voice... 1/

Ok here's a new one: did you know that cows can cause network outages? Don't laugh, it happened to us. The beginning of the story: recently, we noticed frequent short outages ("flaps") on a multi-terabit fiber path through Oregon. 1/

The Nomad engineering team at @HashiCorp just wrapped up our first Hack Week and WOW. 🤯

Consul leads the pack in production usage in a @CloudNativeFdn survey on service mesh. This number would be even higher considering the service discovery and K/V use cases as well. Excited for the roadmap this year! 🚀

Excited to share this case study on @Roblox choosing Nomad: 4 SREs manage 11,000 nodes across 22 clusters on bare metal + AWS, Windows + Linux. 500 nodes per Nomad cluster, no sweat. A first-time sysadmin upgraded a cluster online. Yep, that's Nomad. 😎 buff.ly/38EJrSh
