I just recently started doing interviews for devops. I can't thank you enough for the detailed, but simplified approach to answering interview questions. I just subscribed and will definitely be back! Thanks a ton!!

[DesignDensity]

Thank you very much for these interview Q&As, they have literally stuck in my head as I played the video twice in a row 😉👌
BTW I guess those 90 downvotes are from ones that failed their interviews by not watching this video properly, and this would be my side note if I may; you must watch these videos at least a few times no matter how smart you are!

Cheers

[TheBthebabe]

This is great! I just got the rest of the questions.

[Bukolajohnson]

This is so perfect . Thanks for the tips

Great work. Really helping me with my job search in North America. Thank you

As a DevOps Engineer with over 7+ years of experience, please do not take anything you see here seriously. Either this person is a troll, I missed something and this is a joke (at which case I apologize but I doubt it), or he genuinely thinks these are actual DevOps Interview questions.
These are BASIC interview questions that suit ANY technical role and have nothing to do with being a DevOps Engineer. Talk about Linux, Scaling, experience with Cloud, any Networking knowledge? Security? CI/CD procedures? Using IaaC applications?
Please stop spreading misinformation.

[purshinderjolly]

Does anybody know who helps with Devops Resume and job placement?

[rehaanq]

These aren't DevOps related questions. They're just generic interview questions you would see for any role.

[pwr]

You can't use the name of the thing, when you're talking about the thing, as you're talking about the thing.

[munz]

I hate this. This is exactly how i would not like to answer interview questions. Those answers sound like they come from a robot. Not an engineer...

[adrianalter]

lol there's nothing about devops in here

[hosseinghorbani]

It's my apologies but I think it has many buzzwords.

[anny]

Click bait for selling questions, the couple ones here are only basic ones applying to all interviews. 👎👎👎
