Sessions
Nomad is a container orchestrator which is cross-platform, scalable, stable, and easy to operate. In this session, I will demonstrate how to create a Nomad cluster, and show how it's architecture and configuration differs from Kubernetes; making it easier to operate and cheaper!
We will then deploy a dotnet core application and some services into the cluster, and show how integration with other infrastructure and services can be done in a way which can reduce the complexity of your applications.
By the end of this session, you should have a good understanding of how most of your deployment problems can be solved without having to resort to the operational complexity and overheads of using Kubernetes.
