DevOps Certification Labs - 18 Day Training Plan

Project Overview

This project covers a wide range of DevOps and DevSecOps skills, including:

• Version Control: GitHub fundamentals and GitHub Actions.
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform for infrastructure provisioning.
• Containerization: Docker for container management.
• Orchestration: Kubernetes for managing containerized applications.
• Observability: Grafana for monitoring and visualization.
• Secrets Management: HashiCorp Vault for secure secret storage.
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, and GCP for cloud computing.
• Configuration Management: Ansible for automating configuration tasks.
• DevSecOps: Tools like SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, and Snyk for security integration.
• Service Mesh: Traffic management and security with service mesh technologies.
• Compliance and Chaos Engineering: Open Policy Agent (OPA) for compliance and Chaos Mesh for resilience testing.

Each skill is reinforced through hands-on labs and daily cheatsheets, as outlined below.
