# Scripts
## Purpose
Find reusable utilities by the system or task they manage.  Each page retains its language-specific code and operational context.

## Includes
- Applications
- Automation
- Identity and Certificates
- Networking and Access
- Virtualization and Storage
- Windows and Linux

## Start with a Subject
- [Applications](<../reference/Applications/index.md>) — Find applications by the service they provide, then continue to their deployment, authentication, data, and maintenance documentation.
- [Automation](<../reference/Automation/index.md>) — Connect source control, automation controllers, managed hosts, and configuration delivery.  Use the documented execution environment and authentication method for each workflow.
- [Identity and Certificates](<../reference/Identity and Certificates/index.md>) — Connect directory services, certificate trust, single sign-on, and application authentication.  Start with the identity system involved, then follow the integration or maintenance procedure.
- [Networking and Access](<../reference/Networking and Access/index.md>) — Find the DNS, proxy, VPN, and remote-access instructions that connect users and services.  Use the address plans to identify the intended network before changing connectivity.
- [Virtualization and Storage](<../reference/Virtualization and Storage/index.md>) — Follow the relationship between hypervisors, shared storage, guest disks, and recovery procedures.  Select the documented storage design before choosing a maintenance command.
- [Windows and Linux](<../reference/Windows and Linux/index.md>) — Find workstation and server operating-system setup, updates, and repairs.  Storage, networking, and identity tasks are linked to their subject guides when they cross operating-system boundaries.
