Thanks, these help. The first video at the top of the first page of Getting Started, is one of the ones I had watched earlier this week, but on the 5th page of that it's starting to get into the meat.

Still working through it, but it is seeming like the answer to "What is Nomad" is: Kind of a clustered systemd. By that I'm thinking of systemd as a whole, with it's abilities to run containers, timers, daemons and dependencies...

It answers the swarm/k8s call by having a job runner that can run docker containers.
