Nomad recently launched support for service discovery, which enables discovering services without the use of Consul. Nomad maintains a service catalogue of all the services which are registered, with it's address/port, tags etc available over APIs.
Why is this needed:
A Nomad plugin would enable the usecase of discovering Nomad services via DNS. Currently that isn't possible and the only way to use Nomad services is via consul-template or querying Nomad HTTP APIs directly. However, querying services via DNS is a common use case and the plugin will allow for that.
I'd like to build the plugin and send a PR if it's okay to add support for this.
