This repo is simply a collection of information I have put together for my own use, sanitized/adjusted as needed to protect the guilty, and comes with the usual "if you break it, you get to keep both pieces" policy. :-) But hopefully something in here may be of use to others as well. Constructive feedback is always welcome.
Note I have organized information into directories according to the tool used.

Ansible, and agentless configuration management tool, is where I have been spending the majority of my time as I write this, and specifically around network automation. Please note the information provided in the Ansible folder is a work in progress and likely always will be.

As everything other than Ansible is pretty much agent-based, of those I would choose SaltStack (also written in Python) for projects where that made sense. With its persistent, event-based bus built on ZeroMQ, I just find its design better than some alternatives. It's also lighter weight, meaning where other agents falter, Salt minions can easily be run on lower power devices like Raspberry Pis.
