@raphaelmudge.bsky.social summed up why we built and released Ludus open source: "Develop technologies that give individual operators and researchers LEVERAGE acting on hypothesis and make it fast to try things, adapt, and modify."

When spinning up ADCS or SCCM is 3 commands, it gives you leverage.

The Ludus range config can get complex - lots of features == lots of options, but VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) can help if you add:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://docs.ludus.cloud/schemas/range-config.json

to the top of a yaml, the editor will highlight and explain errors! 🤯
