  There's a blog post as well. I'm unsure what makes for the most relevant link: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/announcing-general-availabili...

  I'm the Nomad Team Engineering Lead and would be happy to answer any questions people might have.

  I really like the idea of Nomad as a simpler alternative to Kubernetes. The documentation is great and provides a lot of examples, but I wish I could find a starter guide on how to deploy a complete application with it and Consul. Something like, here’s how to deploy a Rails app with Sidekiq workers and database migrations.

  This along with Waypoint seems like a great solution for smaller side projects.

  It is an opportunity for someone/something to take docker swarm place since complexity of Kubernetes might scare lots of people

  Moving namespaces from enterprise to open source is a big step forward, kudos! In the past many discussions ended with just choosing kubernetes because isolating containers was not possible within nomad.

  You do not need Nomad too!
