Ground Control to Nomad Job Dispatch

Get a gentle introduction to one of Nomad's most underrated features: Parameterized Jobs.

This talk is a beginners guide to the unsung Nomad feature - Parameterized Jobs: a great way to represent batch workloads that require additional context.

What You'll Learn

We'll look at Nomad as a whole, how parameterized jobs fit into the bigger picture, and then put the feature (as well as the related nomad job dispatch command) into practice with some example jobs.

You will leave knowing how to create a parameterized job, how to dispatch a parameterized job, and a general understanding of all the behind-the-scenes machinery that makes your workload run smoothly.
