The Nomad Java task driver enables you to run Java applications in your Nomad cluster without the need to containerize them. It also allows you to use Nomad’s standardized, declarative job configuration with the familiar configuration elements of typical JVM applications.
Our new Learn tutorial, Migrate a Java Application to Nomad for Linux/macOS and Windows guides you through the process of creating a Nomad job specification for a sample Java application. You will learn how to
- find critical elements from a simple Java startup script,
- download the application using the
archivestanza, - provide configuration files using
templatestanzas, - use the
envstanza to populate environment variables, and - run and validate your deployed application.
If you have any challenges with the tutorial or it sparks questions, drop them
here; I’ll do my best to answer.
Have fun learning!
