Gardener vs Nomad: What are the differences?
Gardener: Manage Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers. Many Open Source tools exist which help in creating and updating single Kubernetes clusters. However, the more clusters you need the harder it becomes to operate, monitor, manage and keep all of them alive and up-to-date. And that is exactly what project Gardener focuses on; Nomad: A cluster manager and scheduler. Nomad is a cluster manager, designed for both long lived services and short lived batch processing workloads. Developers use a declarative job specification to submit work, and Nomad ensures constraints are satisfied and resource utilization is optimized by efficient task packing. Nomad supports all major operating systems and virtualized, containerized, or standalone applications.
Gardener and Nomad can be categorized as "Cluster Management" tools.
Gardener and Nomad are both open source tools. Nomad with 4.93K GitHub stars and 893 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Gardener with 1.09K GitHub stars and 151 GitHub forks.
