I would review instance health, network configuration, firewall and routing rules, monitoring data, and relevant platform events, then test connectivity from appropriate points. I would document findings, keep the customer updated, and escalate with clear evidence if the issue indicates a platform-level fault. Describe your process for conducting root-cause analysis after a platform incident. I start by creating a precise timeline from alerts, logs, metrics, configuration changes, and stakeholder observations. I identify the triggering event and contributing conditions, validate the hypothesis with evidence, and distinguish root cause from symptoms. I then document corrective actions, preventive measures, ownership, and follow-up validation. What Linux tools do you commonly use when diagnosing performance or connectivity issues? I commonly use top or htop, vmstat, iostat, free, df, dmesg, journalctl, ps, ss, ip, ping, traceroute, curl, dig, tcpdump, and relevant service logs. The specific selection depends on whether the evidence points to CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, DNS, process, or application behavior. How do you communicate with a customer during a high-priority outage when a resolution is still being investigated? I acknowledge the impact promptly, explain what is known without speculation, and set expectations for the next update. I provide concise, regular status updates that state investigation progress, mitigation steps, and any customer actions needed. Once resolved, I summarize the outcome and share appropriate next steps or follow-up commitments. How would you support a junior Technical Support Specialist who escalates a complex case? I would review the case context and evidence already gathered, then guide the specialist through a structured troubleshooting approach rather than simply taking over. I would explain why particular checks or hypotheses matter, help determine escalation criteria, and ensure the final resolution is documented. This resolves the immediate issue while improving the specialist’s future diagnostic capability.
