Tangled introduces a new microVM engine for Spindle workflows, offering full virtual machine environments with rapid boot times and aggressive caching. This upgrade replaces the previous Nixery engine while maintaining compatibility, allowing users to configure NixOS services, build Docker containers, or use standard Linux images directly within workflow files.
Background
Spindle is a workflow automation tool by Tangled that previously relied on lightweight container-like environments. This update shifts towards isolated virtual machines to provide stronger isolation and flexibility for complex tasks.
