About these files
Build and deployment systems consume a steady diet of YAML, logs and archives. When you are writing a pipeline step, a log shipper or a deployment script, it helps to have inputs of known shape and size on hand.
This collection gathers the formats that operations work touches most, including a ready-made Docker Compose file and an access log in the curated library.
Ready-made samples
Hand-designed files with realistic content or a specific edge case.

DevOps files: questions
- Can a pipeline download these files directly?
- Yes. Every file has a stable URL and a published SHA-256 checksum. For anything that runs often, copy the files into your own repository or artifact store.
