<h2>Simple and Lightweight</h2>
<p class="lead">
HashiCorp Nomad is a single binary that schedules applications and services on
Linux, Windows, and Mac. It is an open source scheduler that uses a
declarative job file for scheduling virtualized, containerized, and
standalone applications.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>1. Declare Jobs</h3>
<p>
Users compose and submit high-level job files. Nomad handles the
scheduling and upgrading of the applications over time.
</p>
<p>
This flexibility makes it easy to deploy one container, dozens of
containers, or even <a
href="https://www.hashicorp.com/c1m/">millions</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>2. Plan Changes</h3>
<p>
With built-in dry-run execution, Nomad shows what scheduling decisions
it will take before it takes them. Operators can approve or deny these
changes to create a safe and reproducible workflow.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>3. Run Applications</h3>
<p>
Nomad runs applications and ensures they keep running in failure
scenarios. In addition to long-running services, Nomad can schedule
batch jobs, distributed cron jobs, and parameterized jobs.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>4. Monitor Progress</h3>
<p>
Stream logs, send signals, and interact with the file system of
scheduled applications. These operator-friendly commands bring the
familiar debugging tools to a scheduled world.

<h2>Hybrid &amp; Multi Cloud</h2>
<p class="lead">
As more organizations adopt cloud technologies, the desire to run in
multiple datacenters and multiple regions becomes critical. Nomad can
span public and private clouds and treat all your infrastructure as a
pool of resources.

<h3>Hybrid Cloud</h3>
<p>
Nomad bridges the gap between the public and private cloud, creating a
unified interface for developers to run any application on any
infrastructure. Easily run services across your internal private cloud
and external public cloud transparently to application developers.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>Multi Cloud</h3>
<p>
As more organizations adopt cloud technologies, the desire to run
applications simultaneously across multiple clouds increases. Nomad
combines the power of all cloud providers into a single, unified
interface for deploying applications and running services.

<h2>Simplify Operations</h2>
<p class="lead">
Nomad simplifies operations by supporting several deployment
strategies to safely upgrade jobs, automatically handling machine
failures, and providing a single workflow to deploy applications.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-6">
<h3>Rolling Deploys</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-5" id="feature-rolling-deploys">
<%= inline_svg "feature-rolling-deploys.svg" %>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<p>
In order to update an application while reducing downtime, Nomad
provides a built-in mechanism for rolling upgrades. Operators specify
the rate at which they would like to upgrade their service in the
declarative job file, plan the changes, and submit the new job. Nomad
then updates the service to the newest version using task health and
Consul health check information to ensure replacement allocations are
healthy. With full control over the update strategy, rolling upgrades
make application deployments simple and safe.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<h3>Blue/Green Deployments</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-7">
<p>
Nomad supports native blue/green and canary deployments through the
declarative job file syntax. Instead of doing a rolling upgrade of the
existing allocations, the new version of the group is deployed along
side the existing set. While this duplicates the resources required
during the upgrade process, it allows very safe deployments as the
original version of the group is untouched till the operator promotes
the new version.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5">

</div>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<p>
Because it knows the state of all nodes and applications, if a
node becomes unhealthy, Nomad will automatically reschedule the
applications that were previously running on the unhealthy host
onto a new, healthy host if capacity exists. As new clients are
added to the cluster, they can share the responsibility of
running applications and services.

<h2>Flexible Workloads</h2>
<p class="lead">
In addition to supporting Linux, Windows, and Mac, Nomad has
extensible support for containerized, virtualized, and standalone
applications. Easily start Docker containers, VMs, or application
runtimes like Java.

<h3>Diverse Technologies</h3>
<p>
By supporting a wide range of technologies such as Docker, rkt, and
LXC, Nomad does not force you into a single technology. Easily use
multiple container or virtualization runtimes simultaneously.
Applications with their own runtime such as Java or Go can be
scheduled directly without the overhead of a container.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>Multi OS</h3>
<p>
The Nomad client runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. This diverse
operating system support enables using the same application scheduler
for all your scheduling and runtime needs.

<h2>Increase Utilization &amp; Reduce Costs</h2>
<p class="lead">
Nomad uses bin packing to optimize application placement onto servers
to maximize resource utilization, increase density, and help reduce
costs.

<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>Increase Density</h3>
<p>
Nomad places applications and services based on a bin packing
algorithm, which is used to optimize the resource utilization and
density of applications. Nomad automatically augments the bin-packing
algorithm with anti-affinity rules to avoid colocating instances of
the same service to reduce the probability of correlated failures.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>Reduce Costs</h3>
<p>
By maximizing resource utilization, Nomad can help remove unused or
under-utilized machines in the cluster, reducing overall costs.
Additionally, Nomad enables organizations to utilize larger, more
cost-effective compute devices which can be less expensive at scale.
