Hi @tgross,
I am expecting loads in the range of 20-30 allocations with only litte traffic for this cluster, so I will follow your advice and test with scenario 2 (3 server nodes running vault, consul and nomad simultaneously and 2 client nodes with nomad and consul clients). The setup would also be flexible enough to scale up if the need arises. To see where things are heading, I am planning on setting up grafana and alert manager.
Thanks for comparing and contrasting the different options.
