I first looked at nix-shell which you can use to create ephemeral environments just like Docker, with the difference that they are 100% reproducible and you don't need containerd or like. It is awesome to create scripts which run the same on EVERY system.

Then looked at NixOS. I geht the point of having a deklarative like OS which you can rebuild in a couple of minutes, BUT the nix language is kind of unituitive and all the tools like flake and nix packages do some magic it con't quiet understand. It does not help that the docs are kind of meh.

This might be a serious issue for my current client since their entire stack is build on VMware and I was helping to build a massive project that would lift their current setup to a full self service private cloud setup. They were already worried by he acquisition but this... With the current budget cuts puts the entire project at risk.

I would feel bad for them but today I was informed by my PO that the budget cuts also affect my contract so it will not be extended. The only bitter taste is that the project was meant to improve the infrastructure for citizen services. Kind of have a bad feeling for how this will turn out

I get some "managed ansible executor" vibes from this. And having a hard time differentiating it form the ansible approach. What advantage does this custum format vs industry standard tools?

Also not entirely sure how state/sync loop is archived from what I've read in the docs. Do I have to change my app to pull config?
