10,588 lead devops engineer interview questions shared by candidates

One manager mentioned that they were exploring Jenkins, TeamCity and Bamboo for CI. Then next interviewer said they are going ahead with TeamCity. After that another engineer said they are using Jenkins and in house custom CI systems which will continue to be in use as well. So this caused some confusion on what they have in place and want to have in future. Same manager said that they are still exploring configuration management tools. Then another engineer said they are setting up Ansible - "Right now our systems are manually configured so we take snapshots (really!!) before making any system changes. But we are going towards Ansible now". In addition, their small team of 7-8 people had 3 managers. They didn't have good idea about DevOps and technical knowledge. From their perspective developer support and supporting process productivity tools like Atlassian Suite, Rational, Rally, QualityCenter was DevOps. One engineer claimed that they were using Docker and AWS, but it was hard to believe it based on their answers. My impression was that they wanted to do fancy things without getting basics right.

Change a python function that calculates square root without using the multiplication operator. And they argued on what is more efficient a for loop or recursion. Run that fast api application inside a docker container and pass env variables. That was all.
