🧠 What I Covered in My DevOps Journey

During this journey, I worked on and learned the core DevOps stack:

  • 🐧 Linux (System basics & administration)
  • 🔧 Git & GitLab (Version control & collaboration)
  • 🐳 Docker (Containerization)
  • ☁️ AWS (Cloud fundamentals & services)
  • ⚙️ Jenkins (CI/CD pipelines)

  • 📦 Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
  • 🛠️ Ansible (Configuration management)
  • 📊 Prometheus & Grafana (Monitoring & observability)
  • 🐍 Python (Automation support language)

📌 What’s Next

Alhamdulillah, I’ve completed the core DevOps learning phase.

Now I’m moving into a revision + strengthening phase, where I will:

  • Review all core concepts
  • Fill remaining knowledge gaps
  • Practice real-world scenarios
  • Use AI tools to improve learning efficiency

📢 Future Plans

From now on, I will start sharing:

  • Weekly progress updates
  • Real DevOps learning outcomes
  • Hands-on practice results
  • Insights from my revision journey

You can follow my updates on LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms.

Before starting this next phase, I will also share a DevOps roadmap to align my revision in a structured way.

Thank you to everyone who supported me in this journey 🙌
 More updates coming soon, In Sha Allah.

 Today, I am going to create a simple calculator using Python . This might be your first code ever , and honestly, this is also my first Python code . So don’t worry — we are learning together. Let’s start step by step. Step 1: Open VS Code First, open Visual Studio Code (VS Code) . Step 2: Create a Folder and a File Create a new folder (you can name it anything). Inside the folder, create a new file. In my case, I named the file first.py . 👉  .py is the file extension for Python , just like: .cpp for C++ .java for Java Step 3: Write the Python Code Now, write the following code in first.py : num1 = float ( input ( "Enter num 1: " ) ) # Taking first number from the user num2 = float ( input ( "Enter num 2: " ) ) # Taking second number from the user opr = input ( "Enter operator: " ) # User selects the operator (+, -, *) if opr = = "+" : # If operator is + output = num1 + num2 if opr = = "-" : # If operator is - ...
