NixOps

Test

NixOps is a tool for deploying to NixOS machines in a network or the cloud. Key features include:

  • Declarative: NixOps determines and carries out actions necessary to realise a deployment configuration.
  • Testable: Try your deployments on VirtualBox or libvirtd.
  • Multi Cloud Support: Currently supports deployments to AWS, Hetzner, and GCE
  • Separation of Concerns: Deployment descriptions are divided into logical and physical aspects. This makes it easy to separate parts that say what a machine should do from where they should do it.
  • Extensible: NixOps is extensible through a plugin infrastructure which can be used to provide additional backends.

For more information, please refer to the NixOps manual.

Running

NixOps is included in nixpkgs and can be executed in a shell as follows:

$ nix-shell -p nixops
