Dynamic CI pipelines with SparrowCI - Alexey Melezhik
Please pay attention if you want to dig really deep )) , then underlying SparrowCI itself is just a transpiler from YAML ( plus some more features ) into Sparrow DSL which is documented here - https://github.com/melezhik/sparrow6 but you probably donβt need that part if you are only interested in writing pipelines β¦

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 ...

Testing is such a MAJOR headache! What strategies do you use to deal with it?
I think alternatives to Ansible such as Rex and Sparrow have "fake it and show me the commands" modes β but I'm not 100% sure.

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.

Glot.io now supports Raku
Could be added pretty easily, Sparrow has cpan-package primitive for for that.

Maybe Rex (https://www.rexify.org/)? You'll need to know Perl, but Perl is in base and really good for this sort of thing.
What are some alternatives?
