Chemtrail

Chemtrail is a client scaler for HashiCorp Nomad allowing for dynamic and safe scaling of the client workerpool based on demand.

Features

• Scale node worker pool based on allocated demand: The autoscaler uses Nomad resource allocation metrics to dynamically scale client class worker pools. This ensures both capacity availability to meet demand, and cost efficiency.
• Operator friendly: Chemtrail is designed to be easy to operate but flexible. Scaling state provides detailed insights into the actions undertaken during an autoscaling event.
• Easily extensible to scale cloud or physical host providers: The provider interface is simple and concise, allowing for easy extension to support your desired cloud of physical server provider.
