What
Build a GNU Guix managed cluster that uses the Arvados environment
How
The base software installation is Debian Wheezy with backports. Otherwise, every tool installed on the cluster will be deployed using GNU Guix, probably inside KVM containers. The idea is that this a 'throwaway' setup so everything should be rebuilt on the fly using Guix expressions.
