DevOps Intern Case Study

The document outlines a case study for a DevOps intern involving the development of a Python Flask application with a focus on containerization, CI/CD automation, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Key tasks include creating a Dockerfile, setting up a GitHub Actions pipeline for deployment, writing Terraform scripts for VM management, and establishing basic application monitoring. Deliverables include a GitHub repository with necessary files and documentation, with an estimated completion time of 4-6 hours.

DevOps Intern Case Study: CI/CD with Containerization

and Basic Infrastructure Automation

Scenario:

Your team is developing a Python Flask application that serves a REST API. The application is
currently hosted on a virtual machine (VM) and manually deployed after every code change.

The team now wants to:

●​ Containerize the application for portability.


●​ Automate the deployment process using a CI/CD pipeline.
●​ Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage resources efficiently.

Task 1: Containerize the Application

Goal:

●​ Create a Dockerfile to containerize the Flask application.


●​ Ensure the container runs properly and exposes the application on port 5000.

Task 2: Setup a CI/CD Pipeline

Goal:

●​ Create a GitHub Actions pipeline to:


○​ Build the Docker image.
○​ Push the image to a container registry (DockerHub or any private registry).
○​ Deploy the container on a VM using a simple script.

Task 3: Basic Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform

Goal:

●​ Write a basic Terraform script to:


○​ Launch a virtual machine (VM).
○​ Open security group ports to allow HTTP and SSH traffic.
○​ Configure the VM to pull and run the Docker container.

Task 4: Basic Application Monitoring and Alerts

Goal:

●​ Set up monitoring to track application logs and system performance.


●​ Create a basic alert to notify the team if CPU usage exceeds 70%.

Deliverables:

●​ A GitHub repository with:


○​ Dockerfile.
○​ GitHub Actions workflow file.
○​ Terraform scripts.
○​ Basic documentation with setup and deployment instructions.

Time Allocation:

●​ Estimated Time: 4–6 hours.


●​ Submission Format: GitHub repository with detailed setup and deployment instructions.

Evaluation Criteria:

●​ Understanding of Docker and containerization.


●​ Ability to set up a CI/CD pipeline.
●​ Familiarity with basic Terraform commands and IaC concepts.
●​ Basic knowledge of monitoring and system performance.
●​ Problem-solving and communication skills.

Optional Bonus Task:

●​ Add a rollback mechanism in the CI/CD pipeline.


●​ Implement auto-scaling for containers if resource usage spikes.
