Nomad Demo

Repository to go with my talk on Nomad: Kubernetes without the Complexity.

Tooling

Required:

• Hyper-v - You can adapt the Vagrantfiles to other virtualisation tools if you want
• Vagrant - for the VMs
• Nomad - to interact with the cluster
• Bash - gitbash is fine

Optionals:

• Consul - run a consul node on your local machine to host other services
• Tmux - just makes running one of the scripts easier

Setup

1. start the cluster

   ./scripts/init.sh   # or make sure there is a host_ip file at repo root with your host machine ip in it
   vagrant up
   

2. Run all the demo junk
   • if you have tmux:

     ./scripts/demo.sh
     

   • if you don't, run a separate shell for each of these:
     • ./scripts/consul.sh
     • ./scripts/host.sh
3. in a shell (as admin on windows), run this:

   export NOMAD_ADDR="http://$(cat server_ip):4646"
   nomad status
   

   You can now run jobs:

   nomad job run rabbit/rabbit.nomad
   

Good Luck!
