DevOps Engineer interview questions and answers.

Here are some examples:

1.    What experience do you have with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes?

Answer: I have experience working with Docker and Kubernetes, and have used these technologies to containerize and orchestrate applications. I have created Docker images and Dockerfiles to package applications, and have used Kubernetes to manage containerized applications at scale. I am also familiar with container orchestration frameworks such as Docker Swarm and Mesos.

2.    Can you explain your experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet?

Answer: I have experience using infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment. I have created Ansible playbooks and roles, Chef cookbooks and recipes, and Puppet manifests and modules to automate infrastructure tasks. I am also familiar with other infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation.

3.    Can you explain your experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines?

Answer: I have experience implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and CircleCI. I have created build scripts and deployment scripts, and have integrated these scripts into CI/CD pipelines to automate the software delivery process. I have also implemented testing and monitoring stages in CI/CD pipelines to ensure software quality and availability.

4.    Can you walk me through a deployment scenario where you had to troubleshoot issues in production?

Answer: Yes, I can walk you through a deployment scenario where I had to troubleshoot issues in production. For example, I deployed a web application to a Kubernetes cluster using Helm charts. After the deployment, I noticed that the application was not accessible from the public Internet. I investigated the issue by checking the Kubernetes pod logs, network policies, and ingress rules. I found that the ingress controller was misconfigured, and fixed the issue by updating the ingress resource and redeploying the application.

5.    Can you explain your experience with cloud infrastructure providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform?

Answer: I have experience working with cloud infrastructure providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, and have deployed and managed applications on these platforms. I have used services such as EC2, S3, and RDS on AWS, and services such as App Service, Cosmos DB, and AKS on Azure. I am also familiar with other cloud infrastructure providers such as DigitalOcean and Linode.

6.    Can you explain your experience with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack?

Answer: I have experience using monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack to monitor and analyze infrastructure and application metrics and logs. I have created dashboards and alerts in Grafana, and have set up log aggregation and analysis using ELK stack. I have also used other monitoring and logging tools such as Datadog, New Relic, and Splunk.

7.    Can you explain your experience with security best practices and tools such as SSH, SSL, and VPN?

Answer: I have experience implementing security best practices and tools such as SSH, SSL, and VPN to secure infrastructure and application access. I have used SSH to secure remote access to servers, and SSL to secure data transfer over the Internet. I have also used VPN to create secure connections between on-premises and cloud environments. Additionally, I have implemented security measures such as access control, encryption, and vulnerability scanning.
