Run any code on the cloud, instantly.

Welcome to Nomad!

Nomad is the easiest way to run any code on the cloud! Nomad is designed to be used with Prism projects, but it can be used to any arbitrary code (e.g., functions, scripts, Jupyter notebooks, or entire projects)!

Getting Started

Nomad can be installed via pip. Nomad requires Python >= 3.8.

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install nomad-dev

Then, initialize a configuration file with the nomad init CLI command. This command will automatically prompt you for all the information needed to configure your cloud environment.

$ nomad init

What type of cloud environment do you want to use [ec2]? ec2
What would you like the name of your configuration file to be (default: nomad.yml)?

<HH:MM:SS> | INFO | Building configuration file...
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO | Done!

To run your project on your cloud environment, use the nomad build command. Under the hood, this command:

1. Builds the cloud environment according to instructions contained in the configuration file, and
2. Executes your project on the cloud.

$ nomad build -f nomad.yml
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Created key pair my_cloud_agent
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Created security group with ID sg-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in VPC vpc-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Created EC2 instance with ID i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Instance i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is pending... checking again in 5 seconds
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Instance i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is pending... checking again in 5 seconds
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Instance i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is pending... checking again in 5 seconds
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[build]  | Instance i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is pending... checking again in 5 seconds
...
...
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[run]    | Done!
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[delete] | Deleting key-pair my_cloud_agent at /../../../my_cloud_agent.pem
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[delete] | Deleting instance i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
<HH:MM:SS> | INFO  | my_cloud_agent[delete] | Deleting security group sg-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alternatively, you could use the nomad apply command to first build the cloud environment and then use nomad run to actually run the code.

Check out our documentation to see the full list of CLI command and their usage!

Cloud environments

Nomad currently supports the following cloud environments (which we call "Agents"):

• ec2

Product Roadmap

We're always looking to improve our product. Here's what we're working on at the moment:

• Additional Agents: GCP Virtual Machines, EMR clusters, Databricks clusters, and more!
• Managed service: Managed platform to easily view, manage, and schedule your different cloud deployments
