The question "What are your favorite command-line tools for DevOps, and how do you use them in your daily workflows?" poses the question of your most preferred command-line utilities that help perform key activities under DevOps, such as automation, version control, management of containers, infrastructure provisioning, and monitoring. It further queries how such tools are also included in the usual activities: manning deployments, provisioning servers, or even troubleshooting the environments. This would involve tools like Git, Docker CLI, Terraform,  or Ansible, and how they are being used for efficiency gain and for automating DevOps workflows.

No DevOps working environment is possible without command line tools for the automation of tasks, management of infrastructure, and troubleshooting. Here are a few favorite command-line tools and their use in daily workflow:

Git:

Usage: One of the most fundamental yet crucial parts of DevOps is version control. Git is heavily used for code repository management. It ensures that teams may or may not be able to track changes, collaborations, and the deployment of code.

Daily Workflows: It is widely used in branching, merging, reverting code changes; it makes it a very important part of the CI/CD pipelines.

Docker:

Docker Usage: Docker is meant for creating, managing, and running containers. It simplifies deploying applications by bundling the application along with its dependencies.

Daily Workflows: You can build images and run containers, manage applications containerized directly from the command line by running such commands as docker build, docker run, docker ps.

kubectl:

Usage: This application runs your Kubernetes clusters. It allows you to work with your Kubernetes resources; this way you will be able to control applications in scale.

Daily Workflows: Commands that use kubectl include: deployment of applications, inspecting and managing cluster resources, scaling services, and the handling of logs.

Ansible:

Usage: Ansible is a highly popular tool for configuration management and automation. It simplifies complex deployments across multiple servers by using easy-to-read YAML playbooks.

Daily Workflows: You can use commands like ansible-playbook to provision software, manage configurations, and deploy applications efficiently, streamlining your operations across various environment

These tools help smooth out DevOps workflows by removing tedious repetitive tasks, ensuring consistency, and giving powerful means to manage infrastructure efficiently.

If you're looking for a better career, I personally suggest you take the DevOps Post Graduate Program!
