This repository contains various Python assignments focused on DevOps, security, and infrastructure management.

• Objective: Ensure strong passwords to enhance security.
• Tasks:
  • Implement a Python function check_password_strength that takes a password string as input.
  • Check the password against the following criteria:
    • Minimum length: At least 8 characters.
    • Contains both uppercase and lowercase letters.
    • Contains at least one digit (0-9).
    • Contains at least one special character (e.g., !, @, #, $, %).
  • Return a boolean value indicating whether the password meets the criteria.
  • Write a script that takes user input for a password and calls the check_password_strength function to validate it.
  • Provide appropriate feedback to the user based on the strength of the password.

• Objective: Monitor the health and performance of servers by tracking CPU usage.
• Tasks:
  • Continuously monitor the CPU usage of the local machine.
  • Display an alert message if the CPU usage exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g., 80%).
  • Run indefinitely until interrupted.
  • Include appropriate error handling to manage exceptions that may arise during the monitoring process.
• Hint:
  • Use the psutil library in Python to retrieve system information, including CPU usage (pip install psutil).
  • Use the psutil.cpu_percent() method to get the current CPU usage as a percentage.
• Expected Output:

Monitoring CPU usage... Alert! CPU usage exceeds threshold: 85% Alert! CPU usage exceeds threshold: 90% ... (continues until interrupted)

• Objective: Automate configuration management tasks for maintaining consistency and managing infrastructure efficiently.
• Tasks:
• Read a configuration file (sample provided).
• Extract specific key-value pairs from the configuration file.
• Store the extracted information in a data structure (e.g., dictionary or list).
• Handle errors gracefully in case the configuration file is not found or cannot be read.
• Save the output file data as JSON in the database.
• Create a GET request to fetch this information.
• Sample Configuration File:

[Database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
username = admin
password = secret

[Server]
address = 192.168.0.1
port = 8080
