The Staging Environment Setup for DevOps scenario is designed to help you build a structured, efficient, and organized staging environment for deploying a microservices-based e-commerce application. This scenario reflects real-world DevOps workflows, where managing logs, deployment artifacts, backups, and configurations is crucial for smooth application deployment.
You will begin by structuring the staging environment—creating directories to store different types of deployment-related files. Then, you will manage deployment artifacts, learning how to download, move, and verify files in the correct location to ensure seamless deployment.
Next, you'll dive into log management, creating log files, writing log messages, and verifying their contents—key skills for application monitoring and debugging. Additionally, you'll implement a backup strategy, ensuring deployment artifacts are safely stored to prevent data loss. Finally, you’ll learn how to clean up outdated deployment artifacts, ensuring a clutter-free and efficient staging environment.
Throughout this scenario, you will work with essential Linux commands such as mkdir, mv, cp, rm, echo, and ls, gaining practical experience in managing a DevOps-friendly Linux environment. This hands-on experience will help you understand the importance of a well-structured staging environment, making it easier to manage deployments, troubleshoot issues, and maintain operational efficiency in a CI/CD pipeline.
