Let’s start with a bit of history.YAMLstands for“YAML Ain’t Markup Language.”It was created in the early 2000s as a human-friendly alternative to XML and JSON. The idea was to make configuration files easy toread, write, and understand, even for people who aren’t programmers. Today, YAML is used everywhere — fromKubernetes manifestsandAnsible playbookstoCI/CD pipelinesandcloud infrastructure files. Knowing YAML is an essential skill forDevOps engineers, system administrators, and developers.
In this course, you’ll begin by learningwhat YAML is, how it works, and why it’s used so widely in automation and configuration management. You’ll write yourfirst YAML file, understand thesyntax rules, and evenparse YAML with Pythonto see how it works behind the scenes.
Next, we’ll cover thebasic YAML concepts— things likescalars, strings, multi-line text, comments, timestamps, and tags. You’ll learn to format your YAML correctly and make it more readable.
Then, we’ll move on toadvanced YAML features— such assequences, ordered mappings, anchors, aliases, and multiple documents. These topics will help you handle complex configurations and reuse YAML efficiently.
By the end of the course, you’ll not only understand YAML — you’ll beconfident using it in real DevOps projectswith tools likeDocker, Ansible, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Jenkins.
So, whether you’re abeginner learning YAML for the first timeor aDevOps professionalwho wants to master it deeply, this course will give you all the knowledge you need — step by step, with clear examples and hands-on practice.
Let’s get started and make YAML simple, powerful, and fun to learn!
