Developers often have little visibility, capacity, or incentive to size applications to their true, efficient levels of resource consumption. The technical undertaking to continuously test, size, and re-test each application is non-trivial and time consuming. Developers in a self-service workflow hard code the resource requirements (amount of CPU and memory) for their applications through trial-and-error “guesstimations.” Over time, the application’s resource requirements in a scheduler’s job file become static, set-and-forget characteristics. Resource consumption is also dynamic - as loads increase or new code is added, the resource usage profile of the application will change. Resource consumption is often unknown and varies widely from application to application. However, self-service has created some unwanted byproducts: excess application overprovisioning, resource waste, and overspending. In a self-service workflow, developers own their applications end-to-end and have free input into their deployment configs - enabling enterprises to achieve higher developer velocity and faster time-to-ship. This feature removes the trial-and-error routine of setting resource requirements and expands Nomad’s functionality from simply deploying applications to right-sizing them in an intelligent and non-disruptive manner at scale.Īs schedulers such as Nomad and Kubernetes have become mainstream in adoption and usage, enterprises have evolved from slow, ticket-based application deployment models to self-service workflows. Nomad 1.0 introduces an innovative new feature, Dynamic Application Sizing for Nomad Enterprise, enabling organizations to optimize the resource consumption of applications through sizing recommendations from Nomad. Nomad 1.0 beta introduces a major new capability with Dynamic Application Sizing, releases namespaces to be available in open source, and includes other new capabilities like the event stream, HCL2 support, Envoy versioning, CNI improvements, HashiCorp Consul namespace support, and topology visualization. With this release, Nomad has achieved a major release in both functionality and quality, since the 1.0 designation is one that HashiCorp takes seriously. Nomad is widely adopted and used in production by organizations like Cloudflare, Roblox, Q2, Pandora, and more. Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments at scale. We are pleased to announce the public beta of HashiCorp Nomad 1.0.
