Sample interview questions
I would begin by defining call-flow, capacity, latency, and failure-domain requirements. I would deploy redundant SBCs and supporting services across separate availability zones or data centers, use health checks and controlled failover, and validate routing, DNS, and observability before production rollout. I would also document rollback procedures and regularly test failover scenarios.
I would correlate signaling traces, SBC logs, media-path metrics, network telemetry, and recent configuration changes to establish the scope and timeline. After identifying the root cause, I would implement a durable corrective action, such as a routing, codec, capacity, or monitoring change, then verify the outcome and document prevention steps.
I would use Ribbon SBCs to secure and control session-border connectivity, including interoperability, routing, topology hiding, and policy enforcement. PSX would centrally manage routing and policy decisions, enabling consistent deployment patterns and controlled changes across the voice estate.
I would use Ansible or a similar tool to create version-controlled, repeatable configurations and pre-deployment validation checks. Automation should include idempotent changes, peer review, inventory management, post-change verification, and a clear rollback path to reduce manual errors and deployment variance.
I would provide concise architecture diagrams, call-flow documentation, runbooks, monitoring and alerting guidance, escalation paths, and known failure modes. I would also conduct a knowledge-transfer session, walk through operational scenarios, and incorporate feedback so the documentation is practical for on-call support.
