Python Roadmap for Cloud Computing
This roadmap is designed to help you become a Cloud Software Engineer using Python.
It covers programming fundamentals, web development, cloud computing, DevOps tools, and
real-world projects.
The estimated duration is 6 months, with a structured learning path to prepare you for cloud-based
applications.
Month 1: Python Fundamentals
- Learn Python syntax, variables, loops, and functions.
- Understand Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
- Learn file handling (JSON, CSV).
- Practice coding challenges on LeetCode or HackerRank.
- Resources: Python Crash Course (freeCodeCamp), Python Docs.
Month 2: Python for Web & API Development
- Learn Flask or FastAPI for backend development.
- Build RESTful APIs for cloud-based applications.
- Work with databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
- Implement JWT authentication & OAuth.
- Resources: Flask/FastAPI official documentation.
Month 3: Cloud Fundamentals & DevOps Basics
- Learn AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud fundamentals.
- Understand Virtual Machines (EC2), Object Storage (S3).
- Learn Docker for containerization.
- Get familiar with Linux & Bash scripting.
- Resources: AWS Free Tier, Docker Basics for Cloud.
Month 4: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation
- Learn Terraform to automate cloud infrastructure.
- Work with AWS Lambda for serverless computing.
- Automate workflows using AWS Boto3.
- Resources: Terraform Docs, AWS Boto3 Docs.
Month 5: CI/CD & Cloud Deployment
- Learn CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD).
- Deploy Python apps on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Learn Kubernetes for managing cloud applications.
- Resources: Kubernetes Basics, GitHub Actions Guide.
Month 6: Real-World Cloud Projects
- Deploy a Flask/FastAPI app on AWS using EC2 + RDS.
- Automate file storage in AWS S3 using Boto3.
- Create a serverless function using AWS Lambda & API Gateway.
- Build a CI/CD pipeline for automatic cloud deployments.
- Resources: AWS Hands-On Labs.
Next Steps After Python for Cloud
- Learn Go (Golang) or Java if needed for cloud-native applications.
- Apply for Duales Studium (with a strong GitHub portfolio & projects).
- Keep practicing DSA with C++ for technical interviews.
