It is possible to deploy and consume stateful workloads in Nomad. Nomad can
|
|
|
|
|
integrate with various storage solutions such as Portworx and REX-Ray.

Nomad allows a user to mount persistent data from local or remote storage volumes
|
|
|
|
|
into task environments in a couple of ways — host volume mounts or Docker Volume
|
|
|
|
|
drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nomad host volumes allow you to mount any directory on the Nomad client into an
|
|
|
|
|
allocation. These mounts can then be connected to individual tasks within a task
|
|
|
|
|
group.

The Docker task driver's support for [volumes][docker-volumes] enables Nomad to
|
|
|
|
|
integrate with software-defined storage (SDS) solutions like
|
|
|
|
|
[Portworx][portworx] to support stateful workloads. Please keep in mind that
|
|
|
|
|
Nomad does not actually manage storage pools or replication as these tasks are
|
|
|
|
|
delegated to the SDS providers. Please assess all factors and risks when
|
|
|
|
|
utilizing such providers to run stateful workloads (such as your production
|
|
|
|
|
database).
|

Please refer to the specific documentation links below or in the sidebar for
|
|
|
|
|
more detailed information about using specific storage integrations.
