Python Programming for Automation
Master Python fundamentals and test-driven development for platform engineering automation
Lab Overview
Learn Python programming with a focus on automation and infrastructure management. This lab uses test-driven development (TDD) to teach Python fundamentals, object-oriented programming, error handling, and file I/O. You'll implement functions to pass pre-written tests, building practical skills for platform automation tasks.
