 Arian | I have never tried it but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work | 20:40:10 |
| Arian | it might need some changes to the nixos module to support the on-prem ssm join token stuff | 20:40:38 |
| Arian | We (mercury.com) are about to open source some terraform modules that we use for deploying NixOS using SSM | 20:41:06 |
| Arian | we basically have an SSM Document that does a nixos-rebuild switch | 20:41:23 |
| Arian | i can probably get that published tomorrow | 20:42:25 |

 drewhaven | This'll be a new type of deployment for me. I'm used to k8s clusters where it's easy to just start new stuff. Been decades since I had to manage an actual system. :D | 23:22:44 |
| Arian | Why do you wanna use AWS SSM though? Do you have other AWS infra to integrate with? | 23:25:09 |
| Arian | It's only kind of worth it if you have other AWS infra. Otherwise I'd just use ssh :") | 23:25:30 |
| drewhaven | We have a decent amount of AWS stuff for our cloud stuff, though we aren't super heavy on all their infra services. | 23:26:43 |
| drewhaven | Just lots of S3, some k8s clusters, a few important ec2 instances. | 23:27:08 |
| drewhaven | Probably the main thing is that we already have the access controls set up. | 23:27:27 |
| drewhaven | A former SRE was going to use it for this, but never got around to it. Now I'm taking a crack at it. | 23:28:02 |
