These AMIs integrate with FlakeHub and FlakeHub Cache to enable faster NixOS deployments on EC2, including inside autoscaling groups. Authentication to FlakeHub is handled via AWS STS with a single command, and NixOS configurations can be applied using the fh CLI by pulling pre-built closures from FlakeHub Cache without re-evaluation. Terraform and OpenTofu examples are provided for declaring and deploying EC2 instances with NixOS configurations on launch, enabling a two-command deployment workflow. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
