Thomas Weber, CTO of pascom, a company that develops next-generation UCC Telephony Solutions and upgrades business communications, has been searching for ways to improve its solutions without disrupting existing workflows. He identified two ideal platforms, HashiCorp Nomad and Podman, which would provide a technological solution to achieve his goals. However, the challenge was that these platforms do not talk to each other out of the box. To address this issue, Weber developed an open-source research project to create a prototype plugin that enables the combination of Nomad and Podman within a cloud infrastructure. The plugin is now available for download and experimentation, and Weber hopes it will provide the basis for future implementations and deployments, as well as support the wider community who are looking to take advantage of the excellent benefits offered by both technologies.
