We present a real-world use-case of NixOS to manage an highly distributed fleet of servers & VMs in low-resource settings used for mission critical applications. After a brief overview of who MSF is and what we do, we’ll dive into the technical details of how we manage our fleet with NixOS and the unique strengths that NixOS brings to the table.

    Wonderful use case. MSF is an organization that deserves to have IT get out of the way and enable the business to do their work.

    Applying these patterns as described in the presentation is a great way to ensure stability and consistency of IT in the field, so the doctors can just do the work!
