Hello, im pretty curious, what are use cases of python or even golang in devops field ? Im working in software engineering and everything is done with tools like terraform, kubernetes, yamls and other kind of stuff but never seen python in action, only some shell scripts used in pipelines.

This question is a bit misguided. Don't seek an example you can copy, find a problem you're dealing with and solve it. Various teams and projects have various needs for automation. Automation comes at a cost, everything can be automated but not always it's worth it. You have to weight costs vs profits yourself. Automation saves time, prevents human errors and provides documentation of process. Now look around and see what problems you have and where you can benefit from automation. More on reddit.com

The only effective way to practice coding in ANY language is to have a goal to achieve and work until you get there. You can read about data structure, looping, and conditional statements all day long but without a reason to put them all together you just aren't going to get a good grasp on a language.

For most devops use cases: Basic procedural syntax: if, while, for, with, variables, function definitions, module imports, etc Basic CLI option handling: Learn the argparse module Common utility modules: Learn the json, requests, and whatever your cloud provider uses (boto3 for AWS, etc). If you write bash or PowerShell scripts today, start converting them to Python. The process will teach you Python with a focus on what you'll actually use. You can mostly save advanced topics for much later: Object oriented programming and classes, decorators, module / library construction, test harnesses, frameworks, etc. More on reddit.com
