DevOps interview exam in Europe

Well

Hi everyone, I’m Rice – a DevOps Engineers somewhere in Europe. The job search process in Europe is also interesting. In general, there is also a fastidious company asking the machine model of each command , or the difference between each version (difference between version 12 and 13 of terraform: scared :). There are also instant noodle companies that prefer to play problem solving (for example, designing a pipeline to create subdomains using git push. Today I have free time, I bring two interview topics that I find interesting for everyone to discuss.

Thread 1

Company X needs to design an infrastructure plan for one customer (called Y). The goal is to host a containerized web application on AWS . Company Y’s web application is the document storage service . Users can store and confidentially organize their files .

You find out the “potential” problems with this design and give appropriate solutions .

Thread 2

Company Y asks Company X to design a release / deployment pipeline for the new project. The new project includes 3 client applications (IOS, Android, Angular) and microservice-based containerized backend (Java SpringBoot) . Tèo – Head of department – design a pipeline system as follows:

• Master node
• Build Slave # 1: Ubuntu 20.10, 2×2 Ghz CPU Cores, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD
• Build Slave # 2: Ubuntu 20.10, 2×2 Ghz CPU Cores, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD

The 3 CI jobs include:

• Check: Trigger = Git push, Steps = (run linters, run automated tests, build project, deploy to DEV env)
• Release: Trigger = manual, Input = version #, Steps = (bump version number, build project).
• Deploy: Trigger = Git push, Input = (version #, Environment), Steps = (build project for env, store artifact, deploy artifact with version).

Teo asked your opinion, how do you feel?

In fact, there is no conclusion. Wish everyone to have fun, have any comments.

Somewhere, xx-xx-20xx
