Awesome!!

Are Nomad ODRs supported in this release? In the docs, I could find “task” plugin types for AWS ECS and Kubernetes.

@paladin-devops Not yet, but that’ll be in the next release!

Can’t wait! The Nomad plugin for Jenkins (which spawns Jenkins workers to execute jobs) is one of the primary features of Jenkins that leads me to still use it as an execution environment for Waypoint, which in my case has been wrapped into a Jenkins shared library. But with Waypoint installed on the Jenkins worker, in effect, the Jenkins worker is the ODR for Waypoint, so I haven’t yet had much use for the GitOps/polling approach in Waypoint.

Looking forward to using this feature in Waypoint itself and evangelizing it further within my DevOps team.
