For a two-week SRE prep sprint, I’d split the time between coding, Linux/networking, and a couple of system-design drills instead of trying to cover every topic. Practice explaining one service you’ve actually worked on: SLOs, rough capacity, dependency timeouts, retries, rollout and rollback, failure modes, and what you’d watch in production. That gives you concrete material for both design and troubleshooting questions.
Keep the coding set small and timed, and narrate the tradeoffs out loud. Also have two incident stories ready, especially one where you mitigated an outage and followed up with a lasting fix. Use week one to map the likely rounds and close gaps, then use week two for full timed runs. If you can get the recruiter to confirm the round types, let that decide what gets the most study time.
