More announcements should start like this one does:

"We are excited to announce that the beta release of HashiCorp Nomad 1.1 is now available. Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments. "

I know I've heard of Nomad but couldn't remember what it does. This explained it perfect! I often see an announcement show up here on HN or on Twitter or my RSS Feed and there's not any mention of what the thing is/does other than what's new.
