Nomad: Past, Present, and Future
summary
Nomad presents concrete roadmap items: Nomad 1.3 adds max client disconnect for edge clients and native service discovery; clusters scale to 10,000 nodes and even a petabyte of memory in production. Nomad 1.4 targets a beta with secure variables (AES‑256 encrypted key/value), native health checks, and single sign‑on. Simple load balancing uses rendezvous hashing for per‑allocation routing; advanced needs integrate Consul, Vault, or run traffic 2.8 as a Nomad job for ingress.
