bookScheduling and Running Python Scripts

Scheduling tasks is a crucial aspect of DevOps, allowing you to automate repetitive operations and maintain systems efficiently. In many organizations, tasks like backups, log rotation, and health checks must run at specific times or intervals. Python plays a key role in automating these jobs thanks to its simplicity and flexibility. By writing Python scripts and scheduling them, you can ensure essential maintenance and monitoring activities happen reliably and consistently.

import datetime current_time = datetime.datetime.now() print(f"[{current_time}] System status: All systems operational.")

To control when and how often your Python scripts run, you often need to work with timing functions. The time module in Python provides tools for adding delays or scheduling actions within a script. For example, you can pause execution for a certain number of seconds, or create loops that repeat actions at regular intervals. This is useful when you want your script to check system status, collect metrics, or perform other tasks on a fixed schedule.

import time for i in range(3): print(f"Task run {i + 1}") time.sleep(5) # Wait for 5 seconds before the next run
