This document discusses Nomad, an open source workload orchestrator from HashiCorp that provides a unified workflow for deploying and managing containerized, non-containerized, and batch applications across multiple clouds. Nomad addresses the complexity challenges of using containers at scale by simplifying deployment and management. It also helps modernize legacy applications without rewrites. The document outlines use cases for simplified container orchestration and non-containerized application orchestration with Nomad and describes Nomad's ecosystem integration and adoption path from open source to an enterprise offering.

Our software stack enables the provisioning, securing, connecting
and running of apps and the infrastructure to support them.
We unlock the cloud operating model for every business and
enable their digital transformation strategies to succeed.

3. Digital experiences are now the primary
interface between a customer and a
business, or business and business.
Experiences are typically device- and cloud-
first: rich, personal interface, with large scale
data processing and intelligence.
Cloud adoption is a secular trend
This patterns demands a change in the
model for software delivery to meet delivery
goals, and transformation objectives.
Digital transformation means pressure on application delivery

9. Adopting Containers Could Be Hard...
● Complex initial installation and integration of the
new platform
● Significant upfront cost in time and effort in
rewriting legacy applications
● Steep learning curves in adopting new tools
● Complex and painful reconfiguration when moving
workloads between different infrastructure
environments
● Difficult to master the platform and troubleshoot
How can developers get started with containers easily
and be productive instantly?
