How does this compare with Nixops or Disnix?

It sounds like it would be possible to plug nix-based provisioning into Terraform, and use it to manage the high-level cluster structure.

Edit: downvotes? whatever for?

I don't see the point of downvotes here... I have several production deployments of NixOS, and can't imagine using any other OS / package manager (supplemental utilities are fine, of course).

I'm just starting off working with nixops. quite nice IMO, although not getting into the meat of it yet (i.e., trying real deployments). Nix solves the dependency problem really nicely, and I can spin up machines from scratch really fast. Also curious about comparisons here. If this is a tight implementation of something like nixops I am stoked.
