HashiCorp's Nomad 0.12 was announced during HashiConf Digital in June, featuring notable additions such as the Nomad Autoscaler and a new spread-based ranking algorithm to improve resource utilization and reduce waste. The feature updates were well-received by the community, with some highlighting its potential to optimize performance and minimize hotspots. In addition to the keynote, the event offered various talks, workshops, and resources on-demand, including tutorials and panels focused on Nomad networking and security. The HashiCorp team will continue to release new features and updates in the coming months, with upcoming announcements at HashiConf Digital this October.
