Too complex
Kubernetes is very complex to manage and configure, even when relying on managed K8S. Nomad is the perfect choice for small companies wanting to go Cloud Native without the Kubernetes nightmare.

Technology
At Squarescale, we are proud of the technologies we build our solutions on and we want to share it with you.
At its core, we are using Hashicorp full stack solutions: Nomad, Consul and Vault.
Let’s explore together…

Looking for a Kubernetes alternative?
Kubernetes is too complex and overkill for your company? Let’s deploy your Nomad-based Cloud Native infrastructure with SquareScale
* SquareScale has nothing to do with HashiCorp, the company behind Nomad.
Why we chose Nomad
instead of K8S
Unix philosophy
Nomad is a small footprint binary that does one thing, but does it very well: scheduling workloads.
Large scale ready
Nomad has demonstrated very large scale capabilities running 2 million Docker containers on 6100 hosts in 10 AWS regions in 22 minutes, where Kubernetes overhead and complexity limits its performance.

Easier to secure
As SquareScale focuses on automating the delivery of highly-secure infrastructures, Nomad was the obvious choice because limiting the attack surface and the complexity of each component is a good practices when dealing with security.
Quite easier to certify
SquareScale is the only platform to provide certifiable infrastructures complying with standards such as PCI DSS, HDS, SecNumCloud… SquareScale also automates the generation of certification materials. By choosing Nomad, we have significantly reduced the complexity and the cost of doing it.
Schedule everything
Nomad can schedule everything, not only containers: binaries, Java workloads, GPU workloads, VMs, reactive systems for PLC automation, … This allows teams to smoothly integrate legacy systems into modern Cloud Native infrastructures.
Hashistack
as-a-service
When creating your infrastructure, just select whether you want a Consul and/or a Vault cluster. That’s all. You then have an infrastructure with everything fully configured and TLS encrypted.
The best service mesh tool installed*
*available at the end of the year
As part of the services we want to provide you, is the application
service mesh solution included in Consul : Consul Connect.
It will allow you to fine tune how you different applicative component
are allowed to interact with each other.
Add any HA database to your infrastructure
Attach all managed databases available from the selected IaaS provider
to your cluster. SquareScale makes sure all is perfectly configured
and secured. If needed, opt for a HA database. If you use IaaS
provider without managed databases, SquareScale can configure an
unmanaged one.
Ceph, block devices, NFS
We now that Databases and opject storage are now always the best solution to store presistent and/or distributed content, so we provide you with three solutions for your datastorage needs.
A fast and performant attached solution that you can connect to you application seamlessly: Block storage
A distributed by design solution for your application: NFS
And the best of both world, a managed Ceph Cluster.
Make migration & maintenance easy with Batch & Cron features
Whether you need to migrate your database or perform any maintenance action, you can run any workload once (Batch job) or at a defined frequency (Cron) with simplicity.
