# Automations | Scripts | Playbooks
This section of the documentation goes over concepts such as Ansible Playbooks, Bash Scripts, Batch Files, Powershell Scripts, and other useful kinds of scripts.  These are used for a variety of tasks from performing backups to deploying and provisioning virtual machines.

!!! note
    The amount of usefulness of this section depends on how much you automate your homelab environment.  You may not need this section of the homelab documentation as much as the other sections, but it is still a useful resource of quick commands / scripts to handle day-to-day tasks.

Use the navigation tabs at the left of this section to browse the different script-based categories.
