Tasks and Duties
Week 1 Task: DevOps Strategy and Planning:
For this task, you will be required to develop a comprehensive DevOps strategy and planning document for a hypothetical organization. This strategy should cover key aspects such as CI/CD, infrastructure automation, monitoring, and incident response. Your document should include the following sections: 1) Overview of the current situation, 2) Objectives and goals of the DevOps approach, 3) Proposed tools and technologies, 4) Detailed plan for CI/CD, 5) Infrastructure automation strategy, 6) Monitoring plan, and 7) Incident response plan. The final deliverable should be a DOC file. The task will be evaluated based on the completeness of the strategy, the appropriateness of the proposed tools and technologies, and the feasibility of the plans.
Week 2 Task: Infrastructure as Code:
This week, you will be working on creating Infrastructure as Code (IAC) for a hypothetical cloud-based application using a tool of your choice like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation. The task involves creating scripts to automate the setup, deployment, and scaling of the application. Your IAC should cover aspects like networking (VPC, Subnets), compute resources (EC2, Lambda), storage (S3, RDS), and any other necessary AWS Services. The final deliverable should be a DOC file containing the IAC scripts and a detailed explanation of each part of the script. The task will be evaluated based on the completeness, accuracy, and efficiency of the scripts.
Week 3 Task: Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
This task requires you to create a detailed CI/CD pipeline design for a hypothetical application. The pipeline should include stages such as build, test, deploy, and monitor. You should also specify the tools you would use for each stage. The final deliverable will be a DOC file containing a detailed description of the pipeline, an explanation of each stage, the tools used, and the flow of code changes through the pipeline. The document should also include diagrams to visualize the process. The task will be evaluated based on the comprehensiveness of the CI/CD pipeline design and the appropriateness of the selected tools.
Week 4 Task: Microservices Architecture Design:
For this task, you are to design a Microservices Architecture for a hypothetical e-commerce application. The application should have services like User Management, Product Catalog, Order Management, and Payment Service. You should consider aspects like service-to-service communication, data persistence, security, and scalability. The final deliverable will be a DOC file that includes a detailed design of the architecture, the technologies used, and explanations for your choices. Diagrams to visualize the architecture should also be included. The task will be evaluated based on the suitability of the design for a Microservices Architecture and the justifications provided for your choices.
Week 5 Task: Monitoring and Logging Strategy:
This week, you will develop a detailed Monitoring and Logging strategy for a hypothetical distributed system. Your strategy should cover system and application-level monitoring, log aggregation, and alerting. You should also specify the tools you would use. The final deliverable will be a DOC file detailing your strategy and the rationale behind your choices of tools. The document should also include diagrams for better understanding. The task will be evaluated based on the comprehensiveness of the strategy and the appropriateness of the selected tools.
Week 6 Task: Incident Response Plan:
For the final task, you are required to create a detailed Incident Response Plan for a hypothetical organization. This plan should include incident identification, response, mitigation, reporting, and post-incident review processes. The final deliverable will be a DOC file detailing your Incident Response Plan and explanations for your choices. The document should also include flow charts and diagrams for better understanding. The task will be evaluated based on the comprehensiveness of the plan and the appropriateness of the processes outlined.
