Assist with application logs, monitoring dashboards, and basic troubleshooting.
Write small automation scripts for repetitive development and operational tasks.
Maintain deployment guides, troubleshooting notes, and developer onboarding documentation.
Collaborate with developers and testers, participate in reviews, and demonstrate completed work.
Infrastructure and deployment changes will be performed under mentor supervision.
What You Will Learn:
How applications move from source code to a running environment.
Practical Linux administration, containerization, and cloud fundamentals.
CI/CD workflows, environment configuration, and deployment troubleshooting.
Monitoring, logging, access management, and secure handling of configuration and secrets.
How DevOps supports both legacy systems and a modernized application architecture.
