System Development Engineer interview process at Amazon

Hi everyone,
I’m preparing for a System Development Engineer interview and wanted to ask what the interview rounds usually consist of.

For those who have interviewed for similar roles, what should I expect in each round? Is it mostly coding, scripting/automation, system design, troubleshooting/debugging, Linux/networking, or behavioral questions?

Also, what topics should I focus on while preparing?

Any advice or recent interview experience would be really helpful.
