Getting Started with HashiCorp Nomad - Demo - Job Placement

The video tutorial demonstrates how to manage job placements for a Tetris app using Nomad. Initially, the job is run with bin packing, leading to uneven distribution across nodes. To improve high availability, a spread stanza is added to the job configuration, ensuring even distribution. A fourth node is introduced in a different availability zone, and the spread configuration is updated to allocate jobs based on zone. The tutorial highlights the use of CLI and UI for managing and visualizing job allocations.

What attribute was used to spread allocations based on availability zones?

How did the job status change after the new configuration was applied?

What was the final distribution of allocations across the clients after running the job?

Summarize the key takeaways from the lab regarding job configurations in Nomad.
