bookProcess Management with Python

Process management is a core responsibility for DevOps engineers, as it involves tracking, controlling, and automating the execution of programs and services on servers or other infrastructure. In a DevOps context, process management ensures that essential services are running, helps identify resource hogs, and supports the automation of routine tasks like restarting failed processes or scaling applications. By understanding how to monitor and manage processes, you can maintain reliable systems and respond quickly to operational issues.

# Simulated process listing using a hardcoded list of dictionaries processes = [ {"pid": 101, "name": "nginx", "status": "running"}, {"pid": 102, "name": "postgres", "status": "sleeping"}, {"pid": 103, "name": "redis", "status": "running"}, {"pid": 104, "name": "python", "status": "running"}, {"pid": 105, "name": "sshd", "status": "sleeping"} ] print("PID\tName\t\tStatus") for proc in processes: print(f"{proc['pid']}\t{proc['name']}\t\t{proc['status']}")

Having access to process information allows you to automate monitoring tasks that would otherwise require manual inspection. For instance, you can write scripts to detect if a critical process is not running, generate alerts, or even restart services automatically. This kind of automation is essential for maintaining uptime and ensuring that your infrastructure responds quickly to issues without direct human intervention. By leveraging Python to interact with process data, you can build custom tools tailored to your environment and specific operational needs.
