Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What is open source? (2nd) 2. Why is Linux preferred? 3. What TOP command in Linux (screenshot shown) asked about the memory size based on the output. 4. NGINX server deployment in an EC2 instance - which approach is better? Running NGINX server on the base instance or using a Docker container based deployment approach? (Deploying on base instance only as it helps save resources, as we can create new instances of NGINX server itself so no need for running docker to acheive the same) 5. Tell me.about yourself (1st) 6. What is ssh? 7. Network proxy -- follow up "squid proxy" 8. What is docker? -- polish up ur answers, buddy! 9. Git commands to merge 2 branches, 10.

A wonderfully smooth interview process. Possibly the best I've ever encountered. Forcepoint was quick to get back to me at each stage. The role was clearly described during the process so I feel like I can come in prepared.
