Nomad
Nomad node pool specification
Node pools group nodes, letting you restrict which jobs are able to place
allocations in a given set of nodes. Specify node pools as HCL files and submit
them with the nomad node pool apply
CLI command. Unlike job
specifications, node pool specifications do not support HCL2
features like functions.
This example is a node pool specification generated with the nomad node pool
init
command.
node_pool "example" {
description = "Example node pool"
# meta is optional metadata on the node pool, defined as key-value pairs.
# The scheduler does not use node pool metadata as part of scheduling.
meta {
environment = "prod"
owner = "sre"
}
# The scheduler configuration options specific to this node pool. This block
# supports a subset of the fields supported in the global scheduler
# configuration as described at:
# https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/commands/operator/scheduler/set-config
#
# * scheduler_algorithm is the scheduling algorithm to use for the pool.
# If not defined, the global cluster scheduling algorithm is used.
#
# Available only in Nomad Enterprise.
# scheduler_config {
# scheduler_algorithm = "spread"
# }
}
Example usage if the above is in a file named pool.nomad.hcl
:
$ nomad node pool apply ./pool.nomad.hcl
Successfully applied node pool "example"!
Parameters
description
(string: <optional>)
- Sets a human readable description for the node pool.meta
(map[string]string: <optional>)
- Sets optional metadata on the node pool, defined as key-value pairs. The scheduler does not use node pool metadata as part of scheduling.scheduler_config
(SchedulerConfig: nil)
Enterprise - Sets scheduler configuration options specific to the node pool. If not defined, the global scheduler configurations are used.
