No discussion about Nix-built containers is complete with nix2container:
https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container
It is truly magical for handling large, multi-layered containers. Instead of building the container archives themselves and storing them in the nix store, it builds a JSON manifest that is consumed by a lightly patched version of skopeo that streams the layers directly to either your local container engine or the registry.
This means you never rebuild or reupload a container layer that is unchanged.
