I would validate common causes such as instance status, network configuration, firewall rules, and recent changes, then document findings and escalate with concise evidence if the issue appears platform-level or outside my access. What Linux command-line tools would you use during initial troubleshooting? I would use tools such as ls, cd, cat, grep, tail, ps, top, df, free, systemctl, journalctl, ip, ping, and curl, depending on the issue. I would use them carefully to inspect service status, logs, capacity, processes, connectivity, and configuration without making unapproved changes. How do you decide when to escalate an incident? I assess severity, customer impact, service-level objectives, established runbooks, and whether the issue exceeds my access or documented troubleshooting scope. Before escalating, I gather relevant timestamps, error messages, logs, actions taken, and business impact so the receiving team can act quickly. How would you explain a technical issue to a non-technical customer? I would avoid jargon, state what is happening and how it affects them, explain the next action in plain language, and provide a realistic update cadence. For example, I would say that we are investigating a connectivity issue affecting access to their server rather than describing low-level routing details unless requested. How do you manage multiple tickets and alerts at the same time? I prioritize by severity, customer impact, SLA deadlines, and whether an alert indicates a broader platform incident. I keep notes current, communicate status early, use documented procedures, and escalate promptly when necessary so urgent work progresses without losing track of lower-priority requests.
