Scale AIScale AI Extends Nomad Across Environment Provisioning
Scale AI, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Nomad from HashiCorp to support environment provisioning for platform engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Environment provisioning stays visible to adjacent teams through Nomad |
| Capability | Platform engineers work from the same Nomad record for infrastructure as code |
| Capability | Infrastructure as code can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Inside Scale AI, environment provisioning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Scale AI uses Nomad from HashiCorp as the working layer for infrastructure as code. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. The practical change is simple: environment provisioning has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Scale AI gets from HashiCorp is a durable place to run environment provisioning and a way for platform engineers to see the same infrastructure as code at the same time.
