'''NixOps''' is a tool for deploying NixOS systems in a reproducible and declarative manner. It allows users to manage and deploy entire NixOS-based infrastructures, whether to cloud platforms, virtual machines, or physical hardware.

{{warning|'''at this time NixOps is not actively recommended for new projects or users'''. The tool is undergoing a significant transition between major versions, which has led to some instability and increased complexity in getting it up and running. As of August 2024, it requires extra effort to set up and maintain, and it might not offer ~~the~~ smooth experience ~~users typically expect from NixOS tools~~. See [https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/issues/1574 nixops #1574] for updates and details or check out the [https://github.com/nixops4/nixops4 nixops4] project.}}

NixOps allows users to declaratively specify the desired configuration of their systems and then automatically performs all necessary actions to realize that configuration. This includes tasks such as instantiating cloud machines, managing dependencies, and provisioning resources. NixOps is meant to be fully automated and to create reproducible deployments that leverage the Nix package manager’s purely functional model, creating consistency in the configuration and providing reliability across various environments.

For further details, please refer to the [https://nixos.org~~/manual~~/nixops/~~stable~~/ NixOps manual], which provides an overview of its functionality and features, as well as an up-to-date installation guide.
