GitLab + Nomad: A GitOps Dream - How the Internet Archive Migrated from Kubernetes to Nomad & Consul

The Internet Archive-the home of the Wayback Machine-has moved from Kubernetes to HashiCorp Nomad. In this talk, Tracy Jaquith showcases how to easily make Nomad and Consul clusters as an easy swap-in for Kubernetes.
What You'll See
You'll see how the engineers at her organization use GitLab's normal [build] phase, and swap in a simpler custom [deploy] phase - which uses a templated `project.hcl` (CI/CD vars customizable) single file. You just add a 2-line `.gitlab-ci.yml` to your GitLab repos and 2 CI/CD variables (eg: NOMAD_TOKEN) and you're deploying in minutes to your Nomad cluster.
Also Included
The talk will also include:
Tips & tricks for dealing with monolithic repos
A code editing setup to "hot copy on save" into your running webapp
How to setup a cluster on-prem, if desired.
Use Case Results?
The Internet Archive moved over 100 deployments from Kubernetes to Nomad/Consul clusters. They also doubled the speed of their pipelines (faster [deploy] + better [build] Docker caching).
