Failed dream job interview due to 2 questions, would appreciate any answers about these
Hey guys, coming down from a big failure today. So I got into selected for interview in a dream job, not big name but in terms of $$$, worklife balance, culture, etc. So I clear first round it was standard, complete some assignment, all good. Had talk with Devops lead. He asked me 2 questions that I had no answers for and that was it. I mean 2 questions.
So here is how it went,
He: So we want continuous deployment very frequently what is the best way to achieve this?
Me: CICD pipeline using tools like Jenkins, Gitlab, etc.
He: Okay, great. Now say for some reason there is a faulty release, how will you delete and roll it back automatically?
Me: Not sure maybe we can have Prometheus send alert which would trigger a python k8s script for rollback?
He: Not the best way
Next one, he asked me something related to helm before
He: So, let me give you a scenario. Our users are growing and we are making application ever better by introducing new tools and more applications, like Redis, python app , etc. What would you do in devops perspective so that adding and maintaining those new applications is as easy as possible?
Me: Create docker image for new component, manifest and helm and then Maybe we can have git repository to store all helm chart ?
He: Are you sure?
Me: Not really
We that's it to be honest some questions here and there, I guess either I am kinda dumb, maybe these were easy questions. Anyway I'd appreciate the answers guys. Thank you
