It is containers. It's based on Nixery, which is a virtual Docker registry where it puts together containers for you on the fly containing whatever packages you want from Nixpkgs.

By containers I mean I get to define my CI environment with containers, not nix or that somewhere under the hood containers are being used

Like Argo or Jenkins. Pushing nix as the DX for GHA equivalent was a poor choice by Tangled IMO. It's too unusual for your average dev, I'm not interested in learning nix so I can use CI.
