My DevOps & Cloud Native Learning Journey

Welcome to my personal learning repository! This project is a living document of my journey as I master the core concepts of modern DevOps, containerization, and cloud native technologies. My goal is to move beyond theory and gain hands-on, practical experience with the tools used by top-tier tech companies.

Each numbered folder in this repository represents a distinct, runnable project that demonstrates a specific concept or skill.

Table of Contents

This repository is organized into a series of hands-on projects, each building upon the last.

• 01 - Docker Full-Stack App

  • Concept: Containerizing a full-stack MERN application.
  • Skills: Dockerfile, docker-compose, multi-stage builds, container networking.

• 02 - Persistent Data with Volumes

  • Concept: Managing stateful data for a database container.
  • Skills: Docker Volumes, connecting services to a database container.

• 03 - Kubernetes Basics (Upcoming)

  • Concept: Orchestrating containers at scale.
  • Skills: kubectl, Pods, Deployments, Services.

• 04 - CI/CD with GitHub Actions (Upcoming)

  • Concept: Automating the build, test, and deployment pipeline.
  • Skills: GitHub Actions workflows, secrets management, automated deployments.

My Learning Philosophy

My approach to learning these technologies is to:

1. Understand the "Why": Focus on the fundamental principles behind each tool.
2. Build Hands-On: Create small, working projects to solidify my understanding.
3. Document and Share: Use this repository to track my progress and share what I've learned.
