How we use HashiCorp Nomad

This is going to make our AI team very happy because they can just dump experiments into the cluster at low-priority so those'll be done when those are done.

It's also going to make the operators very unhappy because it'll be harder to monitor actual memory utilization (allocated memory vs memory really in use) in order to plan cluster extensions. Are there some tools around or work planned to make this kind of scaling and utilization easier?

I was going to say "yes!" because we do have some telemetry/metrics improvements coming up, but then I realized those won't address your use case. It seems like aggregating cluster resource usage by job priority is what we need for that. Our UI might be able to calculate that, but I don't think our metrics include job priority so there's no way for your existing tooling to display it.

Please file an issue or link me to an existing issue of you have time. This seems really compelling!
