As a relatively noob sysadmin, I liked it a lot. Easy to deploy and easy to maintain. We've got a lot of mixed rented hardware + cloud VPS, and having one layer to unify them all seemed great.
Unfortunately I had a hard convincing the org to give it a serious shot. At the crux of it, it wasn't clear what 'production ready' Nomad should look like. It seemed like Nomad is useless without Consul, and you really should use Vault to do the PKI for all of it.
It's a bit frustrating how so many of the HashiCorp products are 'in for penny, in for a pound' type deals. I know there's _technically_ ways for you use Nomad without Consul, but it didn't seem like the happy path, and the community support was non-existent.
Please tell me why I'm wrong lol, I really wanted to love Nomad. We are running a mix of everything and its a nightmare
