Yes k8s does not provide a out-of-box logging collection solution but since everything is in containers, we can piggyback on Docker or Containerd via deamonset to get all the logs.
Nomad on the other hand support various payload(native exec, exec via chroot, containers, even Firecracker VM by community support), so doing logging collection by end users is trickier.
It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.
I like Nomad a lot. It is even more lightweight than k3s and has served my low-budget projects very well.
A little sad to see things are going this way.

Interesting, I have run my hobby projects by Nomad satisfiedly and are looking for ways to run serious workloads.
Would you like to share more wisdom? How do you accomplish things above? Thanks.
