🚀 DevOps Roadmap

DevOps bridges development and operations, ensuring software is deployed fast, reliably, and securely. This guide goes beyond basics to give you an advanced DevOps workflow.


1️⃣ DevOps Fundamentals

  • DevOps Philosophy

    • Collaboration between development and operations
    • Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
    • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
    • Monitoring & feedback loops
  • Version Control

    • Git workflows (Git Flow, trunk-based development)
    • Branching strategies
    • Pull requests & code reviews

2️⃣ Continuous Integration (CI)

  • Automating builds and tests
  • Popular CI tools:
    • GitHub Actions
    • GitLab CI
    • Jenkins
    • CircleCI
  • Running automated test suites
  • Code quality checks

3️⃣ Continuous Deployment / Continuous Delivery (CD)

  • Automating deployment pipelines
  • Canary deployments & blue/green deployments
  • Rollback strategies
  • Infrastructure provisioning automation

4️⃣ Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

  • Declarative vs imperative provisioning
  • Tools:
    • Terraform
    • Ansible
    • Pulumi
    • CloudFormation
  • Managing environment configurations
  • Secrets management

5️⃣ Containerization

  • Docker

    • Dockerfiles
    • Images vs Containers
    • Docker Compose
  • Best practices for containerized apps

  • Kubernetes

    • Pods, Deployments, Services
    • Namespaces
    • ConfigMaps & Secrets
    • Helm charts
    • Autoscaling & load balancing

6️⃣ Cloud Providers

  • AWS
    • EC2, Lambda, ECS, EKS
    • S3, RDS, DynamoDB
  • Google Cloud Platform
    • Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, GKE
  • Microsoft Azure
    • Azure Functions, AKS, App Services
  • Choosing a cloud provider based on project needs

7️⃣ Monitoring & Logging

  • Monitoring tools:
    • Prometheus + Grafana
    • New Relic
    • Datadog
    • ELK Stack
  • Log aggregation & analysis
  • Alerting strategies

8️⃣ Security in DevOps

  • Secure CI/CD pipelines
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Secrets & key management
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Compliance (ISO, GDPR, HIPAA where applicable)

9️⃣ Performance Optimization

  • Auto-scaling strategies
  • Caching layers (Redis, Memcached)
  • Load balancing & traffic routing
  • CDN usage

🔟 Recommended Projects

To master DevOps, build projects such as:

  • CI/CD pipeline for a full-stack app
  • Kubernetes cluster with multi-service deployment
  • Terraform-managed cloud infrastructure
  • Infrastructure monitoring dashboard
  • Auto-scaling backend services
