What is this topic? Git Complete Guide

Why important? Master Git and GitHub workflows for collaborative DevOps delivery.

Where used? Production systems on cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, with containers and orchestration.

What you will learn? Core concept, practical flow, troubleshooting, and interview-ready understanding.

Cloud example: Amazon Web Services (AWS)

B. Concept Explanation

Core idea: Workflow.

Analogy: Think of DevOps as a delivery highway where code moves from idea to production with checkpoints.

Architecture flow: User -> Application -> Container -> Kubernetes -> Cloud -> Monitoring

Workflow: Pull requests
Workflow: Merge conflict resolution

D. Real DevOps Context

  • Used in production delivery pipelines and cloud operations.
  • Common platforms: Amazon Web Services, Docker, Kubernetes.
  • Common mistake: jumping to advanced tools before concept clarity.
  • Industry use: teams use this to improve release speed and reliability.

E. Troubleshooting

CrashLoopBackOff

Why it happens: Container startup failed due to missing env/config dependency.

How to fix: kubectl get pods | kubectl describe pod <pod> | kubectl logs <pod> --previous

502 Bad Gateway

Why it happens: Upstream app process not listening on expected port.

How to fix: sudo nginx -t | ss -lntp | curl -I http://localhost:<port>

High CPU

Why it happens: Hot endpoint and insufficient resource limits.

How to fix: top | ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head | kubectl top pod

F. Mini Practice Task

Try this now: Create a mini project branch, commit a change, and open a pull request with notes.
