    description: >-
      The HashiCorp Nomad HTTP API provides programmatic access to all Nomad
      functionality including job scheduling, allocation management, node
      operations, deployments, services, evaluations, namespaces, ACL policies,
      and cluster status. All API routes are prefixed with /v1/ and the default
      port is 4646. The API is RESTful, responds to standard HTTP verbs, and
      supports ACL token authentication via the X-Nomad-Token header or Bearer
      scheme. Developers can use this API to submit and manage workloads,
      monitor cluster health, query allocation status, and integrate Nomad
      orchestration into their infrastructure automation workflows.

      The HashiCorp Nomad Go SDK is the official Go client library for
      interacting with the Nomad HTTP API. It provides a high-level, idiomatic
      Go interface for managing jobs, allocations, nodes, deployments,
      evaluations, and other Nomad resources. The SDK is maintained by
      HashiCorp as part of the main Nomad repository and is used internally by
      the Nomad CLI itself, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date
      client available.
