Projects

bartsmeding IT publishes and maintains open-source automation (Ansible roles, Docker images) that we also use in client work and training. That keeps examples honest: what you see here is the same stack we recommend under real constraints.

Below is a NetDevOps-oriented summary of selected engagements. More background: LinkedIn.

Use the rest of this page as a map to open assets; full listings and CI status are under Ansible roles & collections and Docker images in the navigation.
