DevOps Roadmap

DevOps Roadmap


INTRODUCTION

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) which aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

Begin your journey in DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure this roadmap help you clear your action items in Linux, networking, applications, build  release procedures, github, docker, kubernetes, CICD, Ansible, jenkins, Monitoring and Logging Tools, Secret Manager, AWS DevOps Services, GCP DevOps Service, Azure , Infrastructure as Code, Go and Python Programming language

  Guide to Generating IBM Kubernetes Cluster Admin Configuration Understanding the Role and Importance of IBM Kubernetes Cluster Admin Configurations The IBM Kubernetes cluster admin config, often referred to as the kubeconfig file, is a configuration file that holds authentication and access information required to connect and interact with an IBM Kubernetes cluster as an administrator. Kubernetes uses this file to authenticate users and define the context for interacting with a cluster. Key uses of the IBM Kubernetes cluster admin config include: Cluster Access: The admin config file contains information such as the cluster's endpoint, API server address, certificate authority data, and authentication tokens required to authenticate and communicate with the Kubernetes cluster API server. Administrative Privileges: This configuration file often grants administrative privileges or superuser-level access to the Kubernetes cluster. It allows users with this config to perform admini...
