The AWS DevOps Engineer Internship is an 80-hour hands-on opportunity for aspiring DevOps professionals to gain practical experience in cloud-based infrastructure management, automation, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This internship provides exposure to real-world scenarios, offering valuable insights into AWS cloud services, infrastructure as code (IaC), and best practices in DevOps.

Project Components:

1. AWS Cloud Infrastructure (20 hours):

• Set up and configure AWS cloud environments, including virtual machines, databases, and storage solutions.
• Explore AWS services such as EC2, RDS, S3, and VPC, and understand their use cases.
• Implement security best practices for AWS resources and data.

2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (15 hours):

• Learn to create and manage infrastructure using tools like AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.
• Develop IaC templates to provision and manage cloud resources consistently.
• Version control IaC templates for tracking changes.

3. CI/CD Pipelines (20 hours):

• Build CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline or similar tools.
• Automate code deployments to AWS environments with AWS CodeDeploy.
• Integrate automated testing and validation into the CI/CD process.

4. Monitoring and Logging (10 hours):

• Set up monitoring and alerting using AWS CloudWatch.
• Implement logging and log analysis with AWS services.
• Respond to incidents and troubleshoot issues.

5. Automation Scripts (10 hours):

• Create automation scripts using Python or Bash to streamline routine tasks.
• Automate backup and recovery processes for critical data.

6. Documentation (5 hours):

• Maintain detailed documentation of configurations, processes, and procedures.
• Create user guides for team members.

7. Learning and Skill Development (5 hours):

• Participate in knowledge-sharing sessions and workshops with experienced DevOps engineers.
• Gain insights into industry best practices and emerging trends in DevOps.

Upon completing the AWS DevOps Engineer Internship, interns will have acquired practical skills in AWS cloud management, IaC, CI/CD, monitoring, and automation. They will have hands-on experience with AWS services and be well-prepared to contribute to DevOps practices within organizations. Additionally, interns will gain exposure to industry-standard tools and processes, setting them on a path to becoming proficient DevOps practitioners.

To ensure students successfully complete the AWS DevOps Engineer Internship project and gain valuable experience, we will provide comprehensive support and guidance throughout their internship. Here's how we will support students:

1. Onboarding and Orientation: We will conduct an initial orientation session to introduce students to the project's objectives, expectations, and the tools and technologies they will be working with.
2. Mentorship: Each student will be paired with an experienced DevOps engineer who will serve as their mentor. Mentors will provide ongoing guidance, answer questions, and help students navigate challenges.
3. Training Resources: Students will have access to a curated set of training resources, including online courses, tutorials, and documentation, to enhance their knowledge of AWS services, infrastructure as code (IaC), and DevOps practices.
4. Hands-On Practice: We encourage students to apply what they learn by actively working on project tasks. They will have opportunities to create and manage AWS resources, develop IaC templates, set up CI/CD pipelines, and more.
