We are thrilled to announce the first official release of Nomad-Pack—version 0.1.0! This marks a significant milestone in Pack’s journey, and its mission of simplifying complex application packaging and deployment to HashiCorp Nomad.

:package: What’s New

For Pack Authors

  • Nest Packs more easily - Version 0.1.0 includes an updated way to access nested Pack variables and metadata to make reusing and composing Packs easier than ever.
  • Template non-job files - Pack authors can now add non-jobfile templates to their Packs. Create configuration files, documentation, and even build resource specification files as outputs to simplify your Pack consumer’s experience.
  • Optional job support - Job templates can now be wrapped in conditional logic to optionally allow end-users to deploy certain jobs as part of a Pack depending on the variable values provided.
  • Vendor dependencies - With the nomad-pack deps vendor command, you can automatically download the dependencies listed in your Pack’s metadata into its deps/ subdirectory for easier packaging.

For Pack Consumers

  • Generate variable override files for Packs - With nomad-pack generate var-file, you can create a documented variable override file as a starting point for customizing a Pack to deploy in your environment.
  • Easier variable file reuse across Packs - Nomad Pack now includes a --ignore-missing-vars flag that allows Pack deployments with additional unused variables. This makes it simpler to share variable files, such as environment-specific variable files, across Packs without getting deployment blocking errors.
