]# 🐍 Python for DevOps: Weekly Roadmap

Welcome to the Python for DevOps learning journey! This guide covers essential Python skills for DevOps automation, infrastructure management, containerization, security, and AI-powered workflows.

Goal: Learn the basics of Python for scripting and automation.

Topics:

• Python syntax, variables, loops, functions, and error handling
• Working with files (reading, writing, and parsing logs)
• Interacting with OS processes (subprocess, os modules)
• Installing and managing packages with pip and venv

Hands-on Projects:

• Automate log parsing from /var/log/ and extract useful insights
• Monitor CPU & memory usage using the psutil library

Goal: Automate daily DevOps operations.

Topics:

• Working with APIs (requests library for REST APIs)
• Automating SSH tasks (paramiko for remote execution)
• Automating cloud operations with AWS/GCP SDKs (boto3, google-cloud-sdk)
• Writing CLI tools with argparse

Hands-on Projects:

• Automate AWS EC2 instance management (start, stop, terminate)
• Create a CLI tool to check Kubernetes pod status using kubectl and subprocess

Goal: Containerize Python applications for DevOps automation.

Topics:

• Writing Dockerfiles for Python apps
• Running Python scripts inside containers
• Docker Compose for multi-container apps
• Working with Python SDK for Docker (docker-py)

Hands-on Projects:

• Manage Docker containers (start, stop, restart, delete) with Python
• Create a Flask API for system metrics (CPU, RAM) and deploy in Docker

Goal: Automate infrastructure provisioning with Python.

Topics:

• Terraform automation with Python (python-terraform)
• Working with Ansible and Python (ansible-runner)
• Automate Kubernetes YAML generation
• Using Fabric for remote automation

Hands-on Projects:

• Provision AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, S3) using Terraform and Python
• Automate Ansible playbook execution with Python

Goal: Automate Kubernetes operations using Python.

Topics:

• Kubernetes Python SDK (kubernetes library)
• Managing Kubernetes objects dynamically
• Writing Admission Webhooks in Python
• Automating Helm deployments

Hands-on Projects:

• Dynamically create and delete Kubernetes namespaces
• Build a Mutating Admission Webhook to enforce security policies

Goal: Secure infrastructure and monitor logs with Python.

Topics:

• Parsing and analyzing logs (loguru, logging)
• Security automation (checking misconfigurations with PyInfra)
• Python for SIEM (Security Information & Event Management)
• Automating RBAC checks for Kubernetes

Hands-on Projects:

• Check Kubernetes RBAC permissions and find over-privileged service accounts
• Automate security scanning of container images using Trivy and Python

Goal: Use AI for DevOps workflows with Python.

Topics:

• Introduction to LlamaIndex & GenAI for DevOps
• Automating incident response with AI-driven bots
• Generating YAML/JSON configurations using AI
• AI-powered log analysis using LangChain & OpenAI API

Hands-on Projects:

• Build an AI-powered chatbot for Kubernetes troubleshooting
• Develop an AI-based log anomaly detection system for security threats

Happy learning and automating! 🚀 with ❤️ Hari
