  Container-based tests also run fine on Nix builders that are themselves VMs without KVM, and because containers can bind-mount host device nodes, they make it possible to exercise GPU/CUDA workloads from within NixOS integration tests.
  See [the NixOS manual section on writing tests](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-writing-nixos-tests) for details on how to opt in and on the limitations of the container backend.

+  - Coincidentally the driver now exposes machines to the testScript using their attr name used in the test module. E.g. a machine declared with `nodes.<name> = …` is now available as `<name>`. Before, the test driver used their `system.name` option value. They both default to the same value, but if you have set both independently, you might need to adapt your testScript.
