Can you give an idea how big your cluster is? 10, 10s, 100s?
I'm curious how well Normand works in reality, but it's hard to find ppl running it.

But, go ahead and ask me again in 3 or 6 month. We'll migrate around 10 HW servers as nomad clients, we'll probably get HW capacity from our sister company and then we'll start interacting with the 2 other sister companies. If we get all of their resources into nomad, we'd be up to 60 - 80 beefy metal servers. And those 2 other sister companies are in pain for easy windows resources. If nomad can do that properly, I'll be sold for it quite hard. It'll be fun.
It's good to hear your input as I expect to be a similar size to you in a year or two. Far from irrelevant. I'll have to look into it.
The comment was in response to a question I asked about "do I really need something as big as Kubernetes". Not sure why people are picking apart this answer when it seems to answer my question quite well.
I didn't see yours was in the context of a small cluster, since I was reading the whole thread, so I apologize. It seems that every single comment is roughly the same as yours, though, and they act as if anyone who chose kubernetes/openshift is clearly an idiot. There's a reason big clusters use it, but the people running the large clusters don't come on HN to comment. Look at the openai blog, for example.
There's a reason the community is so large. There's a reason people are developing tons of tools around it.
It's not because they're stupid.
