Incremental Upgrades in Nomad

In this hands-on lab you will be creating a job, and then editing the job to increase how many allocations are sent to the cluster, to change the time it takes to update each running allocation when updates are performed. Then, you will test the changes to the Nomad job file by submitting a new version of the job, and checking to ensure that changes are performed as specified by the job file.
