When preparing for interviews or building a serious DevOps portfolio, toy projects won’t cut it. You need something that mirrors real-world complexity — and shows you know how to automate, integrate, and deploy across cloud and container platforms.
That’s what I set out to build — and I’m excited to share my open-source DevOps Python Automation Project, a hands-on repo that brings together:
🧩 Python scripting
☁️ Azure infrastructure (Bicep + Terraform)
🛠️ GitHub Actions CI/CD
🐳 Kubernetes deployment via Helm
📊 Monitoring integrations (coming soon with Prometheus/Grafana)
Why I Built This
With 14+ years in IT (8+ in DevOps), I’ve worked with pipelines of all sizes — from legacy monoliths to cloud-native microservices. I wanted to:
- Build a comprehensive, job-ready portfolio project
- Practice integrating tools that I’ve used professionally
- Share something reusable and explainable for the community
What the Project Covers
Python Automation
Python is the backbone of this project, used to:
- Manage infrastructure workflows
- Automate repetitive DevOps tasks
- Set up the groundwork for observability tools
Infrastructure as Code: Bicep + Terraform
The project provisions Azure infrastructure using:
- Terraform for flexible, cloud-agnostic provisioning
- Bicep for Azure-native, cleaner IaC modules
You’ll see how to modularize, version, and structure IaC the right way.
CI/CD with GitHub Actions
The CI/CD pipeline handles:
- Infrastructure validation and deployment
- Docker builds
- Kubernetes app deployment
- Future additions: integration tests, notification hooks
Kubernetes + Helm
The Kubernetes manifests are managed through Helm, which makes deploying and upgrading apps seamless and version-controlled.
Who Should Check This Out
This project is a great starting point if you are:
- A DevOps or SRE engineer looking to sharpen automation skills
- A Python developer aiming to break into cloud or platform engineering
- A student or job seeker who needs an end-to-end project for interviews
GitHub Repo
🔗 arnabdey73/devops-python-automation-project
