+# LAB01 - DevOps Info Service
+
+## Framework Selection
+Flask 3.0.3 - lightweight framework suitable for simple APIs and microservices.
+
+## Best Practices Applied
+1. Structured logging with timestamps
+2. Error handling for 404/500 responses  
+3. Environment variables for configuration
+4. PEP8 compliant code organization
+
+## API Documentation
+GET / - Service and system information
+GET /health - Health check endpoint
+
+text
+
+## Testing Evidence
+![Main endpoint](screenshots/01-main-endpoint.png)
+![Health check](screenshots/02-health-check.png)
+![Terminal output](screenshots/03-formatted-output.png)
+
+## GitHub Community Engagement
+- Starred: inno-devops-labs/DevOps-Core-Course
+- Starred: simple-container-com/api
+- Following: Cre-eD, marat-biriushev, pierrepicaud
+- Following 3 classmates
+
+Stars increase project visibility. Following helps track best practices.
+
+## Challenges & Solutions
+- Windows venv activation via direct python.exe path
+- Client IP shows 127.0.0.1 for localhost correctly
