Hi everyone and thanks for your insights and input into this discussion. I realise that development effort has indeed slowed on Levant. We are committed to maintenance releases and critical fixes where needed, however, we do not have any roadmapped work currently for this project. I am trying to find a little time to go through the backlog over the coming weeks/months while we also move the project onto a new release pipeline.
Nomad Pack is still in tech-preview state and so is expected to change and develop a fair amount more before it moves from this state. Development has slowed for the moment in favour of other priorities and projects, this will likely pickup again in the near future.
While the future is never certain, we do expect nomad-pack or the Nomad native CLI to be our preferred ways to manage and run jobs. While nomad-packs purpose is well defined around templating, the Nomad CLI also offers HCLv{1,2} syntax, job deployment monitoring, variable replacement at submission time, and scaling commands, all of which Levant was built for initially to perform.
If you have feature requests for nomad-pack or Nomad please feel free to reach out either via the repositories or in this thread for further discussion or questions.
