1 Abstract

This document provides rationale for why we host servers on OVHcloud and Hetzner and use NixOS to store configuration details. It then outlines the exact process of change.

The operating system in this case is “Fully managed.” in that the starting state of the operating system is configured fully by us (Walters).
