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.

📌 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

👨‍💻 Python Learning Resources

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

  1. learnpython.org
  2. Learn Python 3 from Scratch
  3. Python for Beginners – Full Video Course

🚀 Week 1: Python Fundamentals for DevOps

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

✅ 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 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.

🛠 Week 2: Automating DevOps Tasks with Python

🎯 Goal: Automate daily DevOps operations.

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

🔨 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.

✅ 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 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.

🔧 Week 4: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Python

🎯 Goal: Automate infrastructure provisioning with Python.

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

🔨 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.

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

🔨 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.

🔍 Week 6: Python for Security & Monitoring in DevOps.

🎯 Goal: Secure infrastructure and monitor logs with Python.

✅ 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 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.

🤖 Week 7: GenAI & LlamaIndex for DevOps

🎯 Goal: Use AI for DevOps workflows with Python.

✅ 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 Project:

  • Build an AI-powered chatbot that suggests Kubernetes troubleshooting steps.
  • Develop an AI-based log anomaly detection system that detects security threats.

🤖 Week 8: Agentic AI

🎯 Goal: Implement advanced AI-driven DevOps automation

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

💼 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.
3️⃣ Intelligent CI/CD Analyzer: AI-driven CI/CD log analyzer that suggests fixes based on failure patterns.

📢 Next Steps

  • Contribute to Open Source Python DevOps projects
  • Deploy Python automation scripts in production Kubernetes environments
  • Prepare for DevOps interviews with Python scripting questions
  • Build AI-powered DevOps tools using LangChain & LlamaIndex
