Python Django for DevOps: Terraform, Render, Docker & CI/CD

Welcome. I'm here to help you to master DevOps with Django, where you'll learn how to automate deployments, manage infrastructure with code and build a complete CI/CD pipeline. - Please read carefully -This course is not for complete beginners.

You should already have a basic understanding of Django and be comfortable with it. This course focuses on developer-friendly DevOps workflows for deploying and managing Django web apps with Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Render. It doesn't dive into Kubernetes or enterprise DevOps systems - instead, it gives you a solid, real-world foundation in DevOps practices from code to cloud.

This course is designed for developers who want to integrate DevOps principles into their Django applications. If you have basic Django knowledge and want to level up your skills, this course is for you. The focus is on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD.

You'll learn how to Dockerise Django applications, deploy them using Terraform, and automate workflows with GitHub Actions. Course breakdown:We will start by creating a simple Django project and then progressively integrate DevOps tools and best practices to automate deploymentsMaster dockerisation - Containerise your Django project for seamless deployment and scalability using DockerUtilise GitHub Container Registry - Efficiently store, manage, and deploy Docker images directly from GitHub's container registrySecure environment variables - Learn best practices for managing secrets and environment configurations in productionUnderstand cloud deployment models - Explore the differences between IaaS, PaaS and IaC to make informed deployment decisionsDeploy Django with Terraform to Render - Leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate and manage cloud infrastructure for Django applications. We will utilise the IaC format of Render as our cloud service providerSet Up a production-ready database - Configure and integrate PostgreSQL in the cloud for a scalable Django backendBuild a CI/CD pipeline - Design and implement a fully automated continuous integration & deployment workflow using GitHub ActionsMonitor Django applications - Implement basic logging and monitoring with Render to track application performanceOptimise performance & error tracking - Enhance reliability with effective logging, error tracking and monitoring strategiesA structured, hands-on learning experience: > The course is structured in a logical and progressive way - not just random lectures scattered everywhere.
