I would also explain how I used capacity forecasting and incident learnings to improve operational resilience. How would you balance durability, availability, latency, and cost across archival, standard, and accelerated storage tiers? I would define explicit service-level objectives for each tier and select hardware, data-protection policies, replication, caching, and placement rules accordingly. I would continuously validate the trade-offs with workload telemetry, cost-per-GB metrics, and customer-facing performance measurements. What are the key storage considerations for AI training and inference workloads? These workloads require sustained throughput, predictable low latency, high metadata performance, and efficient parallel access patterns. I would benchmark representative workloads, reduce bottlenecks across the network and storage stack, and use tiering or caching strategies that match data-access behavior. Describe your approach to maintaining five-nines availability for a globally distributed storage service. I would establish measurable SLOs, redundancy across appropriate fault domains, tested disaster-recovery procedures, comprehensive observability, and a disciplined incident-management process. Post-incident reviews would produce prioritized reliability improvements, with regular game days to validate readiness. How do you lead and develop an engineering and operations team distributed across multiple regions? I set clear ownership boundaries, operating metrics, escalation paths, and documentation standards while giving team members meaningful technical autonomy. Regular one-on-ones, coaching, design reviews, and transparent planning help align the team and support individual growth.
