I am setting up nomad cluster for running java applications. Is it mandatory to run nomad client as root user? or there can be some sudo privileges given to user to run nomad client.

Hi @priyanka211, in general we recommend running the Nomad Client agent as a user with root permissions in order to enable many of the OS mechanisms for process resource isolation.
