HashiCorp Nomad is a powerful orchestration and scheduler tool that can be an easily operated Kubernetes alternative. Nomad provides an orchestrator for containers, virtual machines, and other resources. The de facto standard for a container orchestrator today is Kubernetes. However, Kubernetes is extremely challenging and complex. It requires a specialized skillset that can present a barrier to entry regarding running production workloads in self-hosted clusters.

A Proxmox VM template is a preconfigured virtual machine image that can be used to create new virtual machines. The template is essentially a snapshot of a virtual machine that has been configured with a specific operating system, applications, settings, and any other necessary configurations, allowing you to deploy new virtual machines quickly to save time and effort. In this post, you will learn how to create a VM template and quickly clone a new VM from the template.
