Book Description
DevOps Projects is a hands-on, project-driven guide designed to help system administrators and aspiring engineers transition into modern DevOps roles. Instead of focusing only on theory, this book takes you through 90 days of practical projects that mirror real-world DevOps workflows used by high-performing engineering teams. You'll begin by building strong foundations in Linux, Git, and DevOps principles, then move into Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and configuration management with Ansible. As your journey progresses, you'll containerize applications using Docker, deploy them to Kubernetes, and integrate cloud-native services and databases. The book emphasizes learning by doing. Each chapter builds on the previous one, guiding you through setting up CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitOps workflows using ArgoCD. You'll automate builds, testing, deployments, and infrastructure provisioning, creating working artifacts that reflect what DevOps engineers build every day. By the final chapters, you'll design and deploy a full-stack, production-style application using modern DevOps tooling, bringing together infrastructure automation, containers, orchestration, and continuous delivery.
