What is DevOps?
• Collaboration between Development & Operations
• Focus on Automation, Continuous Delivery, and Reliability
• Key Principles:
• - Automation
• - Continuous Feedback
• - Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• - Culture of Collaboration
SDLC & DevOps Culture
• Traditional SDLC (Waterfall/Agile)
• DevOps Enhances SDLC with:
• - Continuous Integration (CI)
• - Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD)
• - Continuous Monitoring (CM)
• DevOps Mindset:
• - "You build it, you run it"
DevOps Lifecycle Stages
• 1. Plan – Project Planning (JIRA, Azure Boards)
• 2. Develop – Code Development (.NET, Git)
• 3. Build – Compile & Package (Maven, MSBuild)
• 4. Test – Automated Testing (Selenium, NUnit)
• 5. Release – Deployment Automation (Jenkins, Azure DevOps Pipelines)
• 6. Deploy – Configuration & Infrastructure (Terraform, Ansible)
• 7. Operate – Environment Monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana)
• 8. Monitor – Feedback Loops & Logging (ELK Stack)
Key DevOps Tools
• Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket
• CI/CD: Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions
• IaC: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation
• Configuration Management: Ansible, Chef, Puppet
• Containers: Docker
• Orchestration: Kubernetes (K8s)
• Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP
CI/CD Pipeline Explained
• Continuous Integration (CI): Developers merge code changes frequently
(Automated Build & Test)
• Continuous Delivery (CD): Code is always ready to deploy (Manual
approval)
• Continuous Deployment: Fully automated deployment after testing
• CI/CD Tools: Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Definition: Managing infrastructure using code and automation
• Benefits:
• - Version control for infra
• - Consistency & repeatability
• Popular Tools: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Pulumi
• Sample Terraform Example: Provision an EC2 Instance
Containers & Kubernetes
• Containers (Docker): Lightweight environments to run apps
• Docker Compose: Multi-container applications
• Kubernetes (K8s): Container orchestration tool for scaling & managing
containers
• Basic K8s Concepts: Pods, Deployments, Services
Monitoring & Logging
• Importance of Observability in DevOps
• Monitoring Tools:
• - Prometheus (Metrics)
• - Grafana (Visualization)
• - ELK Stack (Logs - ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana)
• Cloud-native Monitoring: Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch
DevOps & Cloud
• Why Cloud in DevOps?
• - Scalability, Flexibility, On-demand Resources
• Cloud Services:
• - IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
• Common Providers:
• - AWS (EC2, S3, CodePipeline)
• - Azure (VM, Blob Storage, Azure DevOps)
• - GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Build)
Common Interview Topics & Tips
• Git & Version Control workflows
• CI/CD Pipeline practicals (Jenkins/Azure DevOps)
• Docker commands & Dockerfile basics
• Terraform basics & IaC concepts
• Kubernetes architecture (no need for deep dive initially)
• Cloud basics (Azure preferred for .NET developers)
• TIP: Be ready to explain "Why DevOps?" and basic workflows
Useful Resources
• Azure DevOps Labs
• Jenkins Pipeline Tutorials (YouTube)
• Docker & Kubernetes for Beginners (Katacoda / Play with Docker)
• Terraform Official Documentation
• DevOps Roadmap ([Link]/devops)
