# Python for DevOps: 8-Week Learning Roadmap

If you want to understand the importance of python for DevOps, please read the [detailed python for DevOps guide](https://devopscube.com/python-for-devops/).

## πŸ“Œ Overview

This roadmap is designed to help DevOps Engineers and Platform Engineers master Python for automation, cloud operations, infrastructure as code, and Kubernetes. The curriculum includes hands-on projects that mimic real-world DevOps tasks using industry tools like Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

By the end of this roadmap, you'll:
- Automate repetitive tasks with Python
- Work with cloud APIs and infrastructure automation
- Build Python-based DevOps tools and microservices
- Deploy containerized apps with Docker and Kubernetes
- Use AI-powered tools like LlamaIndex & GenAI for DevOps
- Be fully prepared for Python-based DevOps interviews

## πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Python Learning Resources

If you are looking for a guided way to learn Python from scratch., I recommend the following resources.

1. [learnpython.org](https://www.learnpython.org/)
2. [Learn Python 3 from Scratch](https://www.educative.io/courses/learn-python-3-from-scratch?aff=KNLz)
3. [Python for Beginners – Full Video Course](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWRfhZUzrAc)

## πŸš€ Week 1: Python Fundamentals for DevOps

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

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

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Write a Python script to automate log parsing from `/var/log/` and extract useful insights.
- Create a script that monitors CPU & memory usage using the `psutil` library.

## πŸ›  Week 2: Automating DevOps Tasks with Python

### 🎯 Goal: Automate daily DevOps operations.

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

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Build a Python script that automates AWS EC2 instance management (start, stop, terminate instances).
- Create a CLI tool that checks the status of Kubernetes pods using `kubectl` and `subprocess`.

## 🐳 Week 3: Docker & Python for Containerized Applications

### 🎯 Goal: Learn to containerize Python applications for DevOps automation.

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

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Build a Python script to manage Docker containers (start, stop, restart, delete containers).
- Create a Flask API that returns system metrics (CPU, RAM) and deploy it in a Docker container.

## πŸ”§ Week 4: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Python

### 🎯 Goal: Automate infrastructure provisioning with Python.

βœ… Terraform automation with Python (`python-terraform`)
βœ… Working with Ansible and Python (`ansible-runner`)
βœ… Writing Python scripts to automate Kubernetes YAML generation
βœ… Using `Fabric` for remote automation

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Write a Python script that provisions AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, S3) using Terraform.
- Automate Ansible playbook execution using Python.

## ☸️ Week 5: Kubernetes Automation with Python

### 🎯 Goal: Automate Kubernetes operations using Python.

βœ… Working with Kubernetes Python SDK (`kubernetes` library)
βœ… Managing Kubernetes objects dynamically with Python
βœ… Writing Admission Webhooks in Python
βœ… Automating Helm deployments with Python

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Write a Python script that dynamically creates and deletes Kubernetes namespaces.
- Build a Mutating Admission Webhook to enforce security policies in a cluster.

## πŸ” Week 6: Python for Security & Monitoring in DevOps.

### 🎯 Goal: Secure infrastructure and monitor logs with Python.

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

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Build a tool that checks Kubernetes RBAC permissions and finds over-privileged service accounts.
- Automate security scanning of container images using Trivy and Python.

## πŸ€– Week 7: GenAI & LlamaIndex for DevOps

### 🎯 Goal: Use AI for DevOps workflows with Python.

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

**πŸ”¨ Hands-on Project:**
- Build an AI-powered chatbot that suggests Kubernetes troubleshooting steps.
- Develop an AI-based log anomaly detection system that detects security threats.

## πŸ€– Week 8: Agentic AI

### 🎯 Goal: Implement advanced AI-driven DevOps automation

βœ… Understanding Agentic AI for DevOps
βœ… AI-driven CI/CD pipeline optimization
βœ… Automating incident remediation using AI agents
βœ… Integrating AI with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana)

## πŸ’Ό Final Capstone Projects

1️⃣ **DevOps Dashboard API:** Build a FastAPI app that displays real-time Kubernetes metrics.
2️⃣ **Self-Healing Kubernetes System:** AI-powered Kubernetes operator that auto-heals pods based on anomaly detection.
