Python for DevOps Bootcamp

The world has changed a lot in the last decade: Python is one of the most popular languages in the world, the cloud is ubiquitous, and data is hot. Another big change is everyone needs some type of automation. This course covers fiercely effective ways to "get stuff done" in Python. This will be taught using Colab, an interactive Jupyter environment, with hands-on code examples throughout the course. With software systems, for every failed perfect solution that never got implemented, there is a reasonable solution that could have improved things. Learn to embrace imperfect, but useful, automation and you will never look at a boring task the same way again. Who should attend this Bootcamp? You are a DevOps engineer and want to automate tasks more effectively. You perform IT and want to get into DevOps. You are a developer who wants to become better at DevOps. Having a google account will be helpful to run the colab notebook. Alternatively you can follow along with a Jupyter Notebook instance you have access to. Additionally, it will be helpful to have a free AWS account. Prerequisites: Beginning Python skills (or proficiency in a scripting language and a basic understanding of Python syntax) Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts. Comfort working with Linux Student References: Download or clone the code repository for the course: https://github.com/noahgift/python-devops-course. A free Google account will be needed to access notebooks in Google Colab. While a Google account is not required, it is strongly recommended to get the benefit of full participation with the exercises. (If you are unable to use Google Colab, a downloadable notebook will be available via a Github repo.)
