Nomad 1.6 beta adds node pools, UX updates, and more

HashiCorp Nomad 1.6 introduces node pools to help manage multi-tenant Nomad clusters, along with a redesigned job UI, Nomad Pack improvements, and more. Node pools are a new way to determine which client nodes are eligible to receive workloads, allowing job writers to avoid sets of nodes without having to know anything about the overall cluster architecture. This feature is particularly useful for multi-tenant Nomad clusters with multiple user groups running on different namespaces whose workloads cannot conflict with one another. Node pool governance enables fine-grained control over which users can put work on which machines, and allows node pools to be configured to use different scheduling algorithms and have different memory-oversubscription values. The new feature is available in Nomad Enterprise Governance package.
