requesting thoughts/advice on distributing personal tools
As an addition to what's been already said, you might distribute your personal libraries as Sparrow plugins and spin up a private Sparrow repo for that - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/repository.md , it should not be very hard and by they way Sparrow is well integrated with zen by using Rakufile mechanism - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/development.md#package-managers , so one can distribute any ref modules (including taken from git , not eco system ) by just including Rakufile into one's plugin ...

Validating k8s deployments using Sparrow
Sparrow is a wonderful tool to automate @daily devops tasks. Recently I've dropped a new plugin called k8s-deployment-check to verify k8s deployments. It lets you with a little bit of Raku code effectively test entire k8s infrastructure, including k8s deployments.
