Nomad on Azure (Part 3): Nomad clients and a first Nomad job In the previous post we introduced Consul to help us to bootstrap a Nomad cluster.

Nomad on Azure (Part 2): The one where we introduce Consul One issue we discovered in the previous blog post in this series was that to use cloud auto-join to bootstrap a Nomad cluster we need to read tags set on the NICs attached to the VMs in a VMSS.

In part 2 of #NomadOnAzure we introduce #Consul to simplify forming a #Nomad cluster of servers.
