Open Source Summit North America 2018

Scheduler frameworks enable reliable and repeatable application deploys. In this session, attendees will use Nomad, a single binary cluster scheduler, to build a multi-region, self-healing production environment that runs a diverse set of workloads. They will also get hands on experience in writing and submitting job specifications, interacting with the API, and deployment strategies. This session will cover the following:
- Nomad Overview
- Installing and Configuring Nomad
- Creating, Running, and Inspecting Jobs
- Service Registration
- Interacting via the HTTP API
- Advanced Job Strategies (rolling updates, blue-green)
- Failure simulation
In second part of this session, we will spend time destructively testing applications scheduled in Nomad by injecting failures like process failure, machine failure, network connectivity issues, loss of quorum that can happen in production.
