Nomad is a highly available, distributed, data-center aware cluster and application scheduler designed to support the modern datacenter with support for long-running services, batch jobs, and much more. It is developed by HashiCorp and is known for its simplicity and flexibility.

To start a Nomad agent in development mode, use the following command:
$ nomad agent -dev
Create a job file, for example example.nomad:
job "example" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
group "example" {
task "server" {
driver = "docker"
config {
image = "nginx:latest"
port_map {
http = 80
}
}
resources {
cpu = 500
memory = 256
}
service {
name = "nginx"
port = "http"
}
}
}
}
Submit the job using the following command:
