I love Nomad and so do our devs, but K8s has a much larger ecosystem and more tooling options.
A few examples:
- If you want to run some third party software, there's a helm chart for that. In Nomad, you're likely going to figure things for yourself.
- K8s has a lot of cool stuff like Knative, KEDA and others for more sophisticated deployments.
- K8s has tons of operators to integrate with public clouds and external services. Nomad really lacks something similar.
- There's a ton of knowledge and guides related to K8s online, not so much for Nomad.
- There are many managed K8s solutions, which makes things easier. To this date Hashicorp still does not have managed Nomad.
