Yes! It may be that the intersection of cloud/devops people and Guix
people is still too small (for one, I know ‘guix deploy’ but I’m just
discovering ‘cloud-init’), but work in this area would be very welcome,
precisely so Guix can become more useful in this area. It’s a
chicken-and-egg problem that you can help address. :-)
Would it be an option to add a ‘guix deploy’ backend for cloud-init?
There are currently two backends under gnu/machine/*.scm. This would
add a third one that uses cloud-init to perform deployment.
Does that make sense?
If there’s interest in it, I’m happy to provide guidance for the code.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
