Those are very different things….

Yea, I am very confused by the headline. Maybe if it compared Openshift to Kubernetes...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But Kubernetes has nothing to do with HasiCorp?

HashiCorp Nomad is a competitor to Kubernetes: https://www.nomadproject.io/

Interesting, never heard of it

I used to run it at home. It’s actually kinda nice.

I think Roblox runs it’s infrastructure on it.

Is it worth checking out? Any advantages/disadvantages over Kubernetes?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah worth considering, gets stuff done with less complexity than k8s. Teams that choose it seem to delivery more quickly IME.

Thanks, I'll try it out

pretty different things and also IBM owns Red Hat

Hashicorp's Nomad is a k8s competitor. It has pretty nice tooling that is simplier than k8s, and directly supportes vms, containers, war files, etc.

It's pretty common for companies to buy up their competitors, so IBM already owning openshift/etc and still making the purchase makes sense.

I’m tired and OP’s title case is messing with my brain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The title is super confusing, it looks like Kubernetes is part of Red Hat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

If I were to rank HashiCorp's products by importance, Nomad would not be at the top

Of course, if I had ranked Red Hat's products by importance at the time of acquisition, OpenShift would not have been at the top, so I am not a reliable ranker
