Configuration util in python syntax for Hashicorp's Nomad

nomadgen

Craft your Hashicorp's Nomad job specs in python.

Still under development.

Motivation

Nomad is a great job/task scheduler but HCL is pretty limited. This tool will allow you to easily create job specs in python. Its heavily inspired by Facebook's configerator.

Install and run

1. pip install nomadgen
2. See JSON output: python jobspec.py
3. Apply to Nomad: python jobspec.py --run

Examples

• Redis - See how to use same basic task spec config with different drivers (Docker, rkt, qemu).
• Hashiapp - Blue/Green deployments made easy.
• periodic - Periodic task example.
• common/resources - How to simplfy your API even better.
