Learning. Practicing. Building.

In Week 2 of my DevOps journey, I moved deeper into Docker, revisited core Linux and Python concepts, and started applying my knowledge in real-world project workflows. Here's everything I worked on:

🐳 Docker – From Basics to Swarm

Learned about Docker Swarm for managing container clusters
Understood Swarm vs Kubernetes – when to use what
Worked hands-on with Docker Compose to manage multi-container apps
Explored Docker Volumes to handle persistent data
Practiced Dockerizing Django projects for real-world deployment

🐧 Linux & Shell Scripting – Core DevOps Tools

Revised key Linux concepts: file systems, mounting, disk management
Practiced and wrote advanced Shell scripts for automation
These are foundational skills for system admin tasks and CI/CD setups

🐍 Python – Advanced Concepts for Scripting

Covered decorators, generators, file handling, exception handling
This prepares me to write powerful DevOps tools and automation scripts

📊 SQL – Certified!

Took and passed HackerRank’s SQL Certification
🔗 My Certificate
Practiced real-world queries useful for monitoring/logging tools and data analysis

🧪 Project Work – Hands-On Docker + Django

Continued working on Django mini-projects
Applied Docker to containerize them
Will soon push to GitHub + start setting up CI/CD pipelines

Also started building a full eCommerce project using:

HTML, Tailwind, DaisyUI, JavaScript, Django, SQL
Goal: Make it production-ready with Docker & CI/CD

📌 Plans for Week 3

Start Jenkins and build CI/CD pipelines
(Optional) Dive deeper into React
Focus on deploying the eCommerce app with Docker and GitHub Actions

🔄 Summary

✅ Docker Swarm, Volumes, Compose
✅ Linux + Shell scripting revision
