Proposal: Nomad backend about faas-netes

[nicholasjackson]

Would love to build a Nomad plugin, going to hack on a prototype this weekend.

Hi @adrianlop It's not on the OpenFaaS roadmap at this time - but If the community or HashiCorp would like to implement it I'm happy to provide guidance.

Sounds great!

The other thing you might need to do is to write some sort of definition file for Nomad for the initial stack. There are two variants - the one which also includes NATS Streaming (for async) and the one which does not.

So you should be able to just "run" the API Gateway, Prometheus etc within a Nomad cluster without changes - as long as the services are reachable by DNS name. That's how we did it with K8s.

Awesome, I have started a scaffold project at: https://github.com/hashicorp/faas-nomad
will hack more on this tonight.
