NixOps4 is implemented in Rust, and it links to the Nix package manager to integrate with the Nix language and store.

It is composed of the following Rust crates:

nixops4-core

Internal interfaces for nixops4, notably the interface between the CLI and the nixops4-eval evaluator

nixops4-eval

Internal child process of nixops4 that performs Nix evaluation

nixops4-resource-runner

A utility to run resource providers without expressions, and without nixops4, primarily for testing

nixops4-resource

A library for the NixOps resource provider interface

nixops4-resources-local

A basic NixOps resource provider for local operations. Note that because of their flexibility and local behavior, these resources require extra care to make sure the deployment is reproducible.
