Python Cloud Resource Lab

A beginner Python project built to practice program flow, input validation, functions, loops, lists, calculations, and cloud-style resource naming.

Project Scripts

resource_name_builder.py

• Normalizes application names with strip(), lower(), and replace()
• Validates environments using a list and while loop
• Builds names such as patient-portal-prod

number_analyzer_checkpoint.py

• Collects numbers from user input
• Handles invalid input with try and except ValueError
• Calculates the count, total, average, maximum, and minimum
• Classifies each number as below, above, or equal to the average

Skills Practiced

• Python functions
• Variables and return values
• Lists and .append()
• while and for loops
• if, elif, and else
• break and return
• Exception handling
• Input normalization
• Basic calculations
• Script entry points with if __name__ == "__main__":

Running the Scripts

Purpose

This project documents my progress toward becoming a Cloud and AI/ML Engineer while building confidence writing Python scripts from requirements.
