Automate Cloud Workflows with Python Scripting is an intermediate course designed for developers, ML engineers, and data scientists seeking to eliminate manual, error-prone cloud tasks. Modern ML workflows often involve multiple complex steps—provisioning a GPU, running a training job, and saving the model—all of which are inefficient to perform by hand. This course teaches you how to automate this entire process from end to end using Python.
You will learn to write powerful scripts that programmatically manage cloud resources, execute multi-step computational jobs, and ensure data persistence. Through hands-on labs, you will master using Python’s argparse library to create flexible, reusable scripts configurable from the command line, and you’ll apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to build scalable, resilient, and cost-effective solutions. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to transform your manual cloud processes into robust, automated pipelines ready for production.
In this module, you will learn the essential skills to automate cloud tasks using Python. We will cover the entire automation lifecycle, from understanding the high cost of manual work to writing a configurable, end-to-end script that can provision resources, execute a task, and reliably manage data by saving it to persistent storage.

Coursera brings together a diverse network of subject matter experts who have demonstrated their expertise through professional industry experience or strong academic backgrounds. These instructors design and teach courses that make practical, career-relevant skills accessible to learners worldwide.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
