AI-Powered DevOps - 10-Day Course

---

Day 1: Introduction to AI for DevOps

📌 Topics

• Why AI is a game-changer for DevOps

• Overview of Generative AI and LLMs (without deep theory)

• Popular AI tools for DevOps Engineers.

• Hands-on: Create a GitHub repository that contains a bash script. when executed the bash script confirms the health of a virtual machine by looking at the parameters such as cpu, disk space, memory e.t.c.,. Please note that the bash script should also support a command line argument named "explain", when passed, "explain" provides the detailed summary of the health status.

🛠 Mini-Challenge

• Try the hands-on demonstration explained in the video.
