Getting Started with HashiCorp Nomad - Demo - Upgrading Nomad to Newer Versions

The video tutorial demonstrates updating a Nomad cluster from version 1.4.3 to a beta release of 1.5. It covers stopping the Nomad service, downloading and unzipping the new version, replacing the existing binary, and verifying the update. The tutorial emphasizes caution when using beta versions in production and suggests testing in a non-production environment first.

Why is it necessary to manually update Nomad to version 1.5 beta?

• The package manager is outdated.

• The package manager does not support beta versions.

• The server is offline.

• The beta version is not available for download.

What is the first step after downloading the new Nomad release candidate?

• Delete the old version.

• Extract the binary from the zip file.

• Stop the Nomad service.

• Install the new version immediately.

Where is the current Nomad binary located on the server?

• /opt/nomad

• /usr/local/bin

• /usr/bin

• /var/lib/nomad

What command is used to move the new Nomad binary to the correct directory?

• sudo cp /tmp/nomad /usr/bin

• sudo install /tmp/nomad /usr/bin

• sudo mv /tmp/nomad /usr/bin

• sudo ln -s /tmp/nomad /usr/bin

What should be done before using a beta version in production?

• Ignore the release notes.

• Test it in a test cluster.

• Use it without any testing.

• Directly replace the old version.
