The Journal Chapters

A humble attempt at opening my notes to the public, where each chapter recounts lessons learned, mishaps survived, and the occasional triumphant victory — all offered in the faint hope that they might help you bring a bit of order to the delightfully unpredictable world of DevOps.

Behold the chapters:

Start with the Basics

Before diving into pipelines and containers, you need a solid foundation. Learn Linux essentials, networking fundamentals, and hardware basics—the building blocks of every DevOps workflow.

Infrastructure as Code

From cloud platforms like AWS to automation tools like Terraform and Ansible, this section covers everything you need to provision, configure, and manage infrastructure the DevOps way.

Containers Made Simple

Explore Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and OpenShift for enterprise deployments. Understand how these tools work together to deliver scalable, reliable systems.

Continuous Integration & Delivery

Learn how to automate builds, tests, and deployments using GitLab pipelines, YAML configurations, and GitOps tools like ArgoCD. Speed and reliability start here.

Automate Everything

Bash for quick fixes, Python for powerful automation—this section shows you how scripting can save time and reduce errors in your DevOps workflows.
