Sample interview questions
I would begin by confirming business goals, workload dependencies, availability targets, security requirements, and migration constraints. I would review the current architecture, design the target network and compute layout, plan testing and rollback steps, and validate observability before cutover. After migration, I would track performance, reliability, utilization, and optimization opportunities through scheduled reviews.
I would establish the scope and timeline, then correlate application metrics with cluster events, node health, resource limits, network performance, DNS behavior, storage latency, and recent deployments. I would use logs, traces, and metrics to isolate whether the issue is application, cluster, network, or infrastructure related. I would communicate findings, mitigation steps, ownership, and follow-up actions clearly throughout the incident.
I make the customer’s impact and desired outcome explicit internally, provide support teams with reproducible evidence and priority context, and maintain a single clear communication path. I avoid speculative commitments, share confirmed progress and next steps, and explain technical constraints honestly. Following resolution, I document root cause, corrective actions, and prevention measures for the customer.
I would analyze utilization, workload patterns, sizing, storage usage, snapshot retention, network architecture, and availability requirements. I would identify overprovisioned resources, opportunities for rightsizing, scheduling nonproduction workloads, and appropriate use of managed or orchestration services. Each recommendation would include expected savings, operational trade-offs, and a safe validation plan.
I would tailor the same core facts to each audience. For executives, I would focus on business outcomes, service health, risks, adoption trends, investment priorities, and agreed actions. For technical teams, I would add architecture details, performance data, incidents, capacity concerns, and implementation recommendations, ensuring both audiences leave with clear owners and timelines.
