Sample interview questions
I would begin with workload requirements, availability targets, security boundaries, and expected growth. I would use infrastructure as code, managed Kubernetes where appropriate, separated environments, autoscaling, observability, network policies, secrets management, tested backup and recovery procedures, and documented operational runbooks.
I first define the impact and establish a timeline using metrics, logs, and recent changes. I then isolate likely resource bottlenecks across CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, processes, and kernel behavior, validate hypotheses with targeted tooling, mitigate customer impact, and complete a root-cause review with preventive actions.
I use reusable modules, version pinning, remote state with controlled access and locking, and separate state boundaries for environments or services. Changes should be reviewed through pull requests and CI plans, with policy checks, clear ownership, and careful handling of sensitive values.
I focus on portable architectural patterns while respecting provider-specific capabilities and operational differences. Key considerations include identity integration, networking, observability, encryption, cost controls, managed-service trade-offs, deployment automation, and consistent security and reliability standards.
I would clarify user needs, operational constraints, and support expectations early, then propose an interface and implementation approach that is secure, observable, and maintainable. I would collaborate through design reviews, incremental delivery, automated testing, documentation, and feedback from deployment and support teams.
