i think ris's description pretty much covers it. What is cool though is that containers are supported natively in nixos (through systemd) https://nixos.org/rel

i think ris's description pretty much covers it. What is cool though is that containers are supported natively in nixos (through systemd) https://nixos.org/releases/nixos/14.12/nixos-14.12.374.61adf9e/manual/ch-containers.html https://nixos.org/releases/nixos/14.12/nixos-14.12.374.61adf... Also, quite similar to 'cloud-config' I guess, there's a way to declaritively describe deployments to your favorite Cloud Provider TM https://nixos.org/nixops/ https://nixos.org/nixops/ As the world is moving to declarative deployments, and once the docker hype settles, I think operating systems like NixOS will prevail as they're a great solution to the problem.
