Why Python for DevOps?
• Python is a versatile language that offers:
• - Simplicity and readability for fast scripting.
• - A rich ecosystem of libraries for automation,
configuration management, and monitoring.
• - Seamless integration with CI/CD tools and
cloud platforms.
Key Python Libraries for DevOps
• - **Ansible**: Configuration management.
• - **Boto3**: AWS SDK for Python.
• - **Pytest**: Testing framework.
• - **Paramiko**: SSH and remote command
execution.
• - **Docker SDK**: Manage Docker containers.
• - **Kubernetes Python Client**: Interact with
Kubernetes API.
Use Cases of Python in DevOps
• - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripting.
• - CI/CD pipeline automation.
• - Cloud resource provisioning.
• - Monitoring and log analysis.
• - Configuration management and
orchestration.
• - Automated testing.
Automation with Python: Examples
• - **Automating Server Setup**:
• ```python
• import paramiko
• ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
• ssh.load_system_host_keys()
• ssh.connect('server_ip', username='user',
password='password')
• ssh.exec_command('sudo apt update &&
sudo apt install nginx')
Best Practices in Python for
DevOps
• - Use virtual environments for dependency
management.
• - Follow PEP 8 for clean and readable code.
• - Modularize scripts for reusability.
• - Log actions for better debugging.
• - Secure sensitive data using environment
variables or secret managers.
• - Test scripts thoroughly before deployment.
