This makes me nostalgic for Trusted Solaris. Nearly identical motivations, but also allowed for runtime context switching (even within running X11 sessions) without a reboot.
It combined Zones, ZFS filesystems, Crossbow network virtualization, a modified X11 server, and an auth framework to glue it all together.
I don't know how widely Trusted Solaris was ever adopted, but I know that I haven't seen it in use in many years. Maybe this particular NixOS strategy will gain more traction.

- Ixiaus 4y agoWe use it in production at Arista-NDR (for both CI and our Linux rootfs that we deploy on prem and in AWS). Definitely more than just a developer play thing.
- eddsh1994 4y agoI used it at Cardano for CI and dev machines
- CuriousCosmic 4y agoIOG?
- eddsh1994 4y agoYeah
- e3bc54b2 4y agoPretty sure Target use{sd} it, because they're the ones who sponsored original flakes implementation.
