Sure, but at this point there's so much else we get from Consul that, like, what's the point...
I guess the path is set but I'd personally much prefer having a recognized deployment scenario be hosting Consul server and Nomad server on the same physical machines, and accommodating (be it through code or just docs) for making that play well with security, certs, and resource usage without becoming a confounding mess.
Even Vault, if the operator accepts and/or mitigates the sidechannel aspects - from a security perspective that still shouldn't be a step down from anything Nomad-specific?
Seeing as HC already provides solutions for all of these supposed to be serving for Nomad, doesn't it make more sense to make them play together smoother and nice on the same machine rather than reinventing a lesser wheel for each of them?
