HashiCorp has added native service discovery to Nomad, offering a simpler option for basic service registration. This new feature aims to simplify the user experience by providing built-in service discovery capabilities within Nomad itself, reducing the need for additional tools and products. The integration with Consul remains available for more complex use cases, allowing users to leverage both options depending on their deployment needs. By incorporating native service discovery, Nomad can provide a lighter stack without requiring external integration for simple use cases, enabling faster setup and operation.
