This document discusses Nomad and Consul, two products from HashiCorp that help with deploying and discovering services at scale. Nomad is a cluster scheduler that allows specifying jobs to deploy applications across datacenters. It provides advantages like higher resource utilization, decoupling work from resources, and better quality of service through features like bin packing and priorities. Consul is a service discovery and configuration tool that supports querying across datacenters and regions. It uses Raft consensus and gossip protocols to maintain high availability and scalability.
