Hi there 
we’re using a nomad cluster with 3 client nodes.
Everything work fine but I noticed that load is only distributed onto 2 of the 3 nodes. One node seems empty all the time. Maybe it’s a config issue or normal behavior.
It’s fine for rolling upgrades of the cluster but it would be nice if load would be evenly distributed to all 3 nodes.
Is that supported by nomad? (Nomad v1.6.1)
Hi @bartling.jan,
This will be as a result of bin-packing, the default scheduling algorithm Nomad uses when performing workload placements. The scheduling concepts page has more information on this, if you wanted a deeper dive.
Nomad also supports the spread algorithm which can be modified using the operator scheduler API endpoint or the related CLI command.
Thanks,
