Let’s cut to the chase,
DevOps interviews are brutal. You spend weeks studying, only to freeze when they ask,
“How would you automate a deployment across hybrid cloud environments?”
or “Debug a Kubernetes cluster with crashing pods.” Sound familiar?
Trust me I’ve been there. I used to think memorizing cloud service definitions or Docker commands would be enough.
Then I realized interviewers don’t care what you know. They care what you can do.
That’s why I put together a no-nonsense roadmap with 7,000+ questions covering exactly what you need:
- Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP no more guessing which services matter.
- Kubernetes & Docker: From basic containers to troubleshooting clusters under pressure.
- CI/CD Pipelines: Fix broken builds, optimize workflows, and answer Jenkins/GitLab questions confidently.
- Real-World Scenarios: “A server’s CPU is spiking at 3 AM. Walk us through your response.”
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and Ansible questions that mimic actual tasks.
Who Needs This?
- Job Seekers: Skip the generic advice and focus on what hiring managers ask.
- Students: Build practical skills faster than any course or tutorial.
- Professionals: Prep for certifications or promotions without wasting time on theory.
Why This Works
Most guides teach you what to learn. This one teaches you how to solve problems the same ones companies throw at you during interviews.
The questions are sorted by difficulty, so you start with basics and work up to expert-level challenges.
