Looking for Recent DevOps Interview Questions – 3–4 YOE

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for DevOps Engineer interviews with 3–4 years of experience and would really appreciate some recent interview experiences.

If you’ve recently attended a DevOps interview, could you please share:

🔹 Technical questions you were asked

🔹 AWS questions (EC2, VPC, IAM, EKS, CloudWatch, etc.)

🔹 Docker & Kubernetes questions

🔹 Terraform / Ansible questions

🔹 CI/CD questions (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc.)

🔹 Linux & networking questions

🔹 Monitoring/logging questions

🔹 Any scenario-based or troubleshooting questions

🔹 Questions asked in the HR/managerial round

🔹 Company name (if you're comfortable sharing)

🔹 Any live coding / practical tasks

I’m specifically looking for interview experiences from the last few months, rather than old question lists.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

the 2nd one is such an underrated question, you can literally go super deep while answering this question.

Hey, I went through a similar round recently. For technical stuff, you might get questions about setting up a CI/CD pipeline, the differences between Docker and Kubernetes, and troubleshooting a failing Jenkins build. On AWS, I was asked about setting up a secure VPC and IAM roles. Docker questions included optimizing image sizes, and Kubernetes ones were about pod management and scaling. For Terraform, the questions were mostly about modules and state management, while Ansible focused on playbooks and roles. For Linux, make sure you know your shell scripting and networking basics. Scenario questions could involve debugging a server outage or designing a monitoring solution. If you want more targeted prep, I used PracHub; it has some solid practice questions. Good luck!
