Scenario: A big data pipeline needs to aggregate,
transform, and analyze data across AWS and GCP.
How would you design it?
Key Points: Use data transfer tools (BigQuery Data
Transfer Service, AWS Glue), implement ETL
pipelines, and enable inter-cloud data movement.

Scenario: Your application spans multiple clouds and


requires centralized monitoring and alerting. How
would you implement this?
Key Points: Use tools like DataDog or Prometheus
for cross-cloud observability, standardize metrics
and logs, and deploy OpenTelemetry for tracing.

Scenario: Your organization wants to enforce


tagging and security policies automatically across
all cloud resources. How would you achieve this?
Key Points: Use tools like AWS Config, Azure Policy,
or Terraform Sentinel for enforcement; integrate
with CI/CD pipelines; and set up automated
compliance checks.

Scenario: A Kubernetes deployment fails midway


through a rolling update. How would you
troubleshoot and ensure stability in the future?
Key Points: Check rollout history, fix readiness
probes, rollback deployments, and implement
canary strategies.

Your next opportunity is closer than you think. Let’s get you there!
Scenario: Your IoT application streams millions of
events daily, but only the last 30 days of data need
to be retained for analytics. How would you handle
this?
Key Points: Use time-based data expiration
policies (S3 lifecycle rules, Azure Blob retention
policies), archive data to Glacier or Azure Cool
tier, and process data with a streaming
framework (Kafka, Kinesis).

Scenario: Your application handles sensitive


customer data across multiple regions, with strict
compliance requirements like GDPR. How would you
ensure compliance?
Key Points: Implement regional storage policies,
encrypt data in transit and at rest, anonymize
data where necessary, and perform regular
audits.

Scenario: Logs from applications hosted across AWS,


Azure, and GCP need to be aggregated into one
dashboard. What would you use?
Key Points: Set up centralized logging using ELK,
DataDog, or Splunk, integrate cloud-native log
exporters, and use OpenTelemetry for
standardization.

Your next opportunity is closer than you think. Let’s get you there!
Scenario: You manage a multi-tenant SaaS platform
hosted on the cloud. You need to roll out a database
schema change without affecting active tenants.
How would you handle this?
Key Points: Use schema versioning, deploy
backward-compatible changes, implement
feature toggles, and perform blue-green
migrations for critical updates.

Scenario: A Terraform deployment modifies


resources that cause an outage. How would you roll
back infrastructure changes?
Key Points: Use terraform plan and state file
snapshots, enable version-controlled IaC, and
implement a rollback strategy with automated
snapshots and backups.

Scenario: An event-driven architecture using Kafka


or Kinesis experiences bottlenecks during high
traffic. How would you ensure resilience and
throughput?
Key Points: Partition topics efficiently, use
consumer groups, optimize backpressure
handling, and implement retries with dead-letter
queues.

Your next opportunity is closer than you think. Let’s get you there!
Scenario: A Kubernetes cluster hosts multiple
tenants, and you need to ensure isolation and
resource fairness. How would you manage this?
Key Points: Use namespaces for isolation,
implement resource quotas/limits, and enforce
RBAC policies.

Scenario: Your CI/CD pipeline is used by hundreds of


developers and frequently runs into queueing issues.
How would you handle this?
Key Points:
Scale horizontally by adding more
runners/agents.
Use pipeline triggers to run relevant stages
(monorepo considerations).

Scenario: Your cloud application is experiencing high


latency and intermittent failures. How would you
approach the issue?
Key Points:
Analyze metrics using APM tools (e.g.,
DataDog, AppDynamics).
Debug network performance (e.g., VPC Flow
Logs, CloudFront logs).

Your next opportunity is closer than you think. Let’s get you there!
Scenario: A build process includes long-running jobs
that sometimes time out. How would you optimize
this?
Key Points:
Break jobs into smaller stages and use
caching.
Offload heavy tasks to external job runners.
Increase job timeouts temporarily and
investigate bottlenecks.

ause. How would you improve visibility into pipeline


health?
Key Points:
Integrate pipeline monitoring tools (e.g.,
Jenkins Monitoring, GitLab Analytics).
Track metrics such as build time, success rate,
and failure reasons.

Scenario: Your on-premises application needs a


disaster recovery solution in the cloud. How would
you set this up?
Key Points:
Replicate data to cloud storage using tools
like AWS Storage Gateway.
Automate infrastructure recovery using IaC
(e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
Test failover scenarios with minimal RTO/RPO.
