Nomad 1.3 Adds Native Service Discovery and Edge Workload Support

HashiCorp has announced the general availability of Nomad 1.3, an update that includes built-in service discovery, improved edge compute support, Container Storage Interface (CSI) general availability, and more. The new features aim to enhance user experience and improve functionality for managing containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments. Key improvements in Nomad 1.3 include native service discovery, which allows users to easily make requests to other tasks by discovering address and port information through template stanzas or the Nomad API; edge and reconnected workload support for geographically distributed edge clients; CSI general availability with topology feature support; new Evaluations UI for viewing evaluation information; and various quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Nomad Pack, a tool that helps users easily run common applications, templatize their applications, and share configuration with the Nomad community, has also received several updates to improve its integration into CI/CD workflows and make it easier for new users to get started writing custom packs.
