Our team builds and maintains Nomad, a performant, distributed cluster orchestrator that supports heterogeneous workloads including containerized applications, VMs, batch processing, and machine learning frameworks. Our customers run Nomad on tens of thousands of nodes, and rely on our tools to operate their own infrastructure and software. The Nomad Engineering team cares deeply about reliability, performance, and the usability for our users.
Some of the future challenges for our team include :
- Building an extensible orchestration platform for a variety of runtime drivers, devices and logging.
- Advanced scheduling use cases such as managing dependencies between tasks, oversubscription and rebalancing.
- Service segmentation and enabling shared network namespaces among tasks.
- Deployments across a large fleet of nodes spanning multiple regions.
- Debugging and inspection capabilities for tasks.
- Monitoring and predicting resource utilization.
- Development of the our Nomad Ecosystem of tools to enable the extensibility of running and operating Nomad.
Much of our work and libraries are available to the community or are community available. Nomad and its supporting libraries are written in Go.
