The DevOps Basics πŸš€

Background ❔

Are you new to DevOps or looking to learn some DevOps tools? Or maybe you're already a DevOps Engineer searching for documents and a space to practice your skills?

I've created the devops-basics repository on GitHub to help you with all of this! πŸ₯³

Introduction πŸ‘‹

The devops-basics repository will assist you in enhancing your DevOps skills and serve as a bookmark for documents related to DevOps. Key features include:

  • Wide range of topics: Explore 20+ important DevOps subjects like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, ELK, Cloud services, System Architecture, Monitoring, and more.
  • Useful resources: Each topic comes with an overview, official documentation links, cheatsheets, and extra resources to help you learn more.
  • Hands-On practice: Get basic examples for each topic so you can try out what you learn.
  • Advanced examples: Once you've grasped the basic concepts, exploring advanced examples will further elevate your skills.

In the following sections, I'll walk you through key content within the devops-basics repository.

Getting started πŸš€

What is DevOps?

DevOps combines development (Dev) and operations (Ops) to increase the efficiency, speed, and security of software development and delivery compared to traditional processes. A more nimble software development lifecycle results in a competitive advantage for businesses and their customers (source: GitLab)

Well, as you said, that is a basic list... and it is a bunch of stuff we have to know at least about 30% to understand how we manage a devops role on a day-to-day basis.
I gave you a star for your repo because it is essential and it is easy to understand; I'm sharing your repo with my students :)

Cheers buddy.
