đ My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course.

Bret is joined by Erik Veld, Manager, Developer Advocacy at HashiCorp, the creators of Nomad. Nomad is an orchestrator like Kubernetes and Swarm but it has a unique set of features that make it an interesting alternative on multiple levels. It's known for having a much simpler infrastructure design than Kubernetes, and also having a stronger community and feature release cycle then Swarm. Erik talks about the basics of Nomad, the reason it was created and runs through some demos. Streamed live on YouTube April 7, 2022.
Unedited live recording of this show on YouTube (Ep #165). Includes demos.
