nomad-pack integtation

[jorgemarey]

I'll be nice to have a terraform reource to manage nomad-pack templates.

Nomad-pack made nomad jobs reusable by providing a templating mechanism, but currently there's no "standard" way of storing nomad-pack deployments as code. You can always save the version and registry and run a bash command, but that's not very elegant.

Having a nomad-pack resource on terraform could have the following improvements:

• Store as IaC nomad-pack deployments.
• Use imputs from other terraform resources.
• Have nomad deployments in the same pipeline and same tool/configurtion as other IaC.

The resource could be something like this:

resource "nomad_pack" "autoscaler" {
  name            = "autoscaler"
  pack_name       = "autoscaler"
  revision        = "v0.3.7"
  namespace       = var.namespace
  preserve_counts = true
  vars = {
    job_name          = var.job_name
    target            = "aws-asg"
    region            = var.region
    config_path       = var.config_path
  }

To set the diff, maybe it could be usefull to store in terraform the rendered job and use that for the diff.
