* client: accommodate Consul 1.14.0 gRPC and agent self changes. Consul 1.14.0 changed the way in which gRPC listeners are configured, particularly when using TLS. Prior to the change, a single listener was responsible for handling plain-text and encrypted gRPC requests. In 1.14.0 and beyond, separate listeners will be used for each, defaulting to 8502 and 8503 for plain-text and TLS respectively. The change means that Nomad’s Consul Connect integration would not work when integrated with Consul clusters using TLS and running 1.14.0 or greater. The Nomad Consul fingerprinter identifies the gRPC port Consul has exposed using the "DebugConfig.GRPCPort" value from Consul’s “/v1/agent/self” endpoint. In Consul 1.14.0 and greater, this only represents the plain-text gRPC port which is likely to be disbaled in clusters running TLS. In order to fix this issue, Nomad now takes into account the Consul version and configured scheme to optionally use “DebugConfig.GRPCTLSPort” value from Consul’s agent self return. The “consul_grcp_socket” allocrunner hook has also been updated so that the fingerprinted gRPC port attribute is passed in. This provides a better fallback method, when the operator does not configure the “consul.grpc_address” option. * docs: modify Consul Connect entries to detail 1.14.0 changes. * changelog: add entry for #15309 * fixup: tidy tests and clean version match from review feedback. * fixup: use strings tolower func.
Nomad

Nomad is a simple and flexible workload orchestrator to deploy and manage containers (docker, podman), non-containerized applications (executable, Java), and virtual machines (qemu) across on-prem and clouds at scale.
Nomad is supported on Linux, Windows, and macOS. A commercial version of Nomad, Nomad Enterprise, is also available.

Nomad provides several key features:
-
Deploy Containers and Legacy Applications: Nomad’s flexibility as an orchestrator enables an organization to run containers, legacy, and batch applications together on the same infrastructure. Nomad brings core orchestration benefits to legacy applications without needing to containerize via pluggable task drivers.
-
Simple & Reliable: Nomad runs as a single binary and is entirely self contained - combining resource management and scheduling into a single system. Nomad does not require any external services for storage or coordination. Nomad automatically handles application, node, and driver failures. Nomad is distributed and resilient, using leader election and state replication to provide high availability in the event of failures.
-
Device Plugins & GPU Support: Nomad offers built-in support for GPU workloads such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). Nomad uses device plugins to automatically detect and utilize resources from hardware devices such as GPU, FPGAs, and TPUs.
-
Federation for Multi-Region, Multi-Cloud: Nomad was designed to support infrastructure at a global scale. Nomad supports federation out-of-the-box and can deploy applications across multiple regions and clouds.
-
Proven Scalability: Nomad is optimistically concurrent, which increases throughput and reduces latency for workloads. Nomad has been proven to scale to clusters of 10K+ nodes in real-world production environments.
-
HashiCorp Ecosystem: Nomad integrates seamlessly with Terraform, Consul, Vault for provisioning, service discovery, and secrets management.
