Add links to plugin guide because its buried under Docs -> Internal. At least one user couldn't find it: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nomad-tool/5sR8MTGZFrM/8bOExpcJAgAJ Link from: - Devices index - Devices community page - Drivers index - Drivers community page I erred on the side of over-linking because it's just a single concise sentence and I'd hate for people to struggle finding the guide. Also remove some very old (4 years!) and confusing docs from the driver index page.

# Task Drivers
|
|
|
|
Task drivers are used by Nomad clients to execute a task and provide resource
|
|
isolation. By having extensible task drivers, Nomad has the flexibility to
|
|
support a broad set of workloads across all major operating systems.
|
|
|
|
Starting with Nomad 0.9, task drivers are now pluggable. This gives users the
|
|
flexibility to introduce their own drivers without having to recompile Nomad.
|
|
You can view the [plugin stanza][plugin] documentation for examples on how to
|
|
use the `plugin` stanza in Nomad's client configuration. Note that we have
|
|
introduced new syntax when specifying driver options in the client configuration
|
|
(see [docker][docker_plugin] for an example). Keep in mind that even though all
|
|
built-in drivers are now plugins, Nomad remains a single binary and maintains
|
|
backwards compatibility except with the `lxc` driver.
|
|
|
|
The list of supported task drivers is provided on the left of this page. Each
|
|
task driver documents the configuration available in a [job
|
|
specification](/docs/job-specification/index.html), the environments it can be
|
|
used in, and the resource isolation mechanisms available.
|
|
|
|
For details on authoring a task driver plugin, please refer to the [plugin
|
|
authoring guide][plugin_guide].
