Chilepluto is a practical technical-notes site covering Azure platform engineering, automation, infrastructure operations, PowerShell, Python, WSL, and local AI workflows.

Use this page to find the best starting point.

Azure and platform engineering

Start with:

• Azure Landing Zones

The Azure cluster will expand as scheduled articles publish across landing zone design, Terraform delivery, networking, monitoring, FinOps, identity, policy as code, and platform operating models.

PowerShell and Windows

Good starting points:

• Manage Persistent Network Drives with PowerShell

• Use PowerShell Remoting Safely with WinRM

• Store PowerShell Credentials Safely with SecretStore

• Copy ADFS Claim Rules

• Map a Network Drive with New-PSDrive

Python, WSL, and developer workflow

Good starting points:

• Quantize a Local Model on Apple Silicon with Transformers Metal

• Set Up VS Code Dev Containers on WSL 2

• Diagnose Linear Regression with Cross-Validation and Residuals

• Run a Local Text-Generation Pipeline on Apple Silicon

• Troubleshoot WSL Installation and Startup Problems

• Linear Regression with Multiple Variables in Python

• Running Open-Source Large Language Models Locally with Python

• Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Setup

Local AI and machine learning

Good starting points:

• Quantize a Local Model on Apple Silicon with Transformers Metal

• Diagnose Linear Regression with Cross-Validation and Residuals

• Run a Local Text-Generation Pipeline on Apple Silicon

• Linear Regression with Multiple Variables in Python

• Running Open-Source Large Language Models Locally with Python

How the site is written

Articles favour:

• Repeatable implementation patterns
• Operational checklists
• Clear trade-offs
• Safe defaults
• Public-safe technical language
• Links between related topics

The goal is to make technical decisions easier to repeat, explain, and operate.
