We're running Nomad, it's doing one thing and one thing well, when we looked at Kubernetes and all the moving parts it comes with plus all the opioniated stacks people tend to run with it, it was a daunting learning experience, we managed to get it running but the upgrade processes felt brittle and it seemed like a full-time job just keeping it updated and happy.
Nomad + Consul have been one of the best decisions we've made, it's simple to reason about, easy to maintain, the upgrade path haven't been stressful and it requires a minimum of maintenance.
