Ground Control to Nomad Job Dispatch
summary
Begins with Nomad parameterized jobs and demonstrates job dispatch calling a job template with meta params and a payload file; a survey found 56% use periodic jobs but only 20% use parameterized ones. Shows a simple hello job that writes message.txt and sleeps 120s, then a map generator that hits a 16 kilobyte payload limit and solves it by using the artifact stanza pulls URL to download JSON datasets. Fires 25 concurrent dispatches, sees pending queueing, allocations run and produce SVG maps, and also runs raw binaries via the exec/hash driver—working end-to-end.
