Kubernetes uses labels which are key-value pairs that are attached to objects, usually pods. They are used to specify the characteristics of an object like the version, tier, etc. Labels are used to identify objects or groups of objects according to different characteristics that they may have, for example they can be used to identify all the pods that are included in the backend tier. Through labels it's easier to do grouping tasks for pods or containers, like moving pods to different groups or assigning them to load-balanced groups. See More
While other orchestration tools provide much more than just cluster management and scheduling (they also provide things like secrets management, discovery, monitoring, etc.), Nomad follows the Unix philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it well, providing only cluster management and scheduling.

Nomad has the concept of both a long running service and a batch job. When you submit a batch job that contains tasks, if you don't have immediate capacity in your cluster, tasks will queue up in nomad. As capacity frees up, nomad schedules the work. This is great if your workloads are heterogeneous in terms cpu, memory and how long they take to run. You don't have to scale up and down, unless you want faster throughput. If the throughput isn't as important, you can let things run as soon as a resource opens up. See More
