The Nomad NVIDIA device plugin allows you to use NVIDIA graphical processing units (GPUs) within your Nomad workloads.

I recently encountered a puzzling issue with a Nomad job, where a crucial environment variable was missing a # character. After some investigation, I finally uncovered the root cause.

Last month, while migrating our Traefik instance to our new Nomad cluster, I also made the switch from Traefik EE to Traefik Proxy. The transition went smoothly, but I had to make a few minor adjustments along the way.

Last year, I covered how to set up and configure the IONOS Cloud LaaS offering. Now it is time to showcase how we collect logs from Nomad via FluentBit and send them to the IONOS Cloud LaaS.

While doing a bit of spring cleanup in the various Nomad clusters we host for us and our customers, I wanted to delete a few dynamic host volumes that were no longer in use.

A while ago, Nomad introduced the concept of Workload Identity to authenticate to Vault and obtain a Vault ACL token specific to the task. This way, Nomad jobs only have access to "their" own secrets, which provides an additional layer of security.

Recently, I encountered an issue with our new Nomad cluster. After adding a Nomad client node via a VPN connection, the node was successfully visible in Nomad and able to run workloads.

However, I experienced a problem with Nomad's built-in service discovery feature, which was unable to retrieve the correct IP address for a deployed service.

With the 1.10.0 release of Nomad, dynamic host volumes can now be managed without restarting a Nomad Client node to apply the configuration change.

I'm excited to announce that I've been selected as a HashiCorp Ambassador for 2025.

Writing Nomad Job files isn't that hard. Once you understand the basic structure, you can quickly write job files to deploy an application on a Nomad cluster.
