I have been interviewing for roles for several months now (ask me why if you want to!) and thought I would write down some of the questions that came up.
A question I got by a recruiter recently is, what is the difference between a Dockerfile and a container? Wonder what they were filtering for.
What do I know about networking? VPC, BGP, firewall, subnets, IPs, cross-network communication
Another company gave me a take home assignment with instructions to showcase my proficiency in Terraform and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by developing a Terraform module for provisioning a GCP environment, including a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster, along with all necessary prerequisites which were detailed in the document. I used the setup to test some CPanel later on which broke the build but everything worked for the follow up interview in which we went over my submission. Check it out.
On yet another interview, I was asked to write code so that engineers can queue up functions. How would I ensure that functions don't run over some timeout? Don't use
inspect.Write a Dockerfile for a known technology.
Review this Terraform module. What can you tell me about it? What is it doing? What about naming conventions? Data sources? Backend?
How does cherry-picking work in Git? Can you cherry pick a branch?
Show me how you would Google the answer to this question...
Explain Kubernetes fundamental resources. What about Helm?
