My DevOps journey as I explore more into GitHub Actions, cloud automation, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as a junior engineer at Datacom. This is the second part of the real-world simulation in the Introduction to Cloud course through the WCD Bank cloud migration project.
This repository was built as part of the Datacom Introduction to Cloud certification on Forage. It simulates the experience of a junior DevOps engineer working on a cloud migration project for WCD Bank.
