      Devops Engineer Interview

      25 Mar 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BigR.io in Mar 2024

      Interview

      First, I was contacted by a recruiter and given a questionnaire to complete. The questionnaire was extremely thorough, and it took me 4 hours to fill out. After the questionnaire, I went on a call with some people (who weren't even part of the company!) as part of the screening. After all that investment, they said they didn't want to continue with me, which felt like a slap to the face because I had the experience they were looking for and felt like I did well on the questionnaire. Felt like I got "gatekeeped" from a position.

      Interview questions [23]

      Question 1

      A DevOps engineer needs to implement a blue/green deployment process for an application on AWS. The DevOps engineer must gradually shift the traffic between the environments. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. The application stores data on an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instance. Amazon Route 53 provides external DNS. Describe the steps the DevOps engineer should take to meet these requirements?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      A development team is designing an application that has a large customer base spread across three AWS Regions. The application will use an Amazon DynamoDB table that must be available in all three Regions to deliver low-latency data access. When the table is updated in one Region, the changes must seamlessly propagate to the other Regions. How should a DevOps engineer configure the table to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

      A company runs a serverless mobile app that uses Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Cognito, and Amazon DynamoDB. During large surges in traffic, users report intermittent system failures. The API Gateway API endpoint is returning HTTP status code 502 (Bad Gateway) errors to valid requests.
