A few long-standing feature requests I've noticed a lot:

* No autoscaling

* Can't reserve entire CPU core: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/289

* No way to run jobs sequentially: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/419

Autoscaling is in Tech Preview as of March: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-nomad-autoscaling-t...

Nice! It's definitely been one of the bigger holes.

I hope you'll also consider sequential tasks in a single jobfile. Without it it's kind of awkward because you have to be passing shell scripts around just to run a setup step before your actual workload.

We’ve also started to implement this with a new task dependencies feature in the latest release. Check out: https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/preview-of-nomad-0-11-ta...

There’s more work going on there to further improve the feature in upcoming releases.
