Leave a comment

Had a strong technical interview today. The interviewer asked questions about the topics in this outline.

  • Virtualization and Hypervisors

  • Security

  • Docker and Kubernetes

    • Storage for Docker

  • OpenStack/CloudStack - which I lack experience

  • Chef

    • Security of data - see Databags

  • CloudFormation - immutable infrastructure

  • DNS

    • Bind

    • Route53

    • Anycast

      • Resolvers routes to different servers

    • Cloud

      • Azure

      • Moving Monolithic application to AWS

        • Which raises a bunch of questions on the Application

          • Virtual or Physical Hardware

          • Backend / Technology

          • Requirements

          • Where is this application on the Roadmap in 3 - 5 years

          • How much of the application being used

        • Cost Optimization

        • Security

      • Explain the underpinnings of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS.

These were all great questions for a technical interview. The interviewer was easy to converse and it was much more of a great discussion than an interview. The breadth and depth of the interview questions were impressive. I was very impressed with the answers to my questions by the interviewer. I left the interview hoping that the interviewer would become a colleague.
