An interview prep path for SRE and DevOps loops. Heavy on networking, operating systems, and infrastructure-as-code MCQs, paired with the system-design topics interviewers reach for (rate-limiting, queues, load-balancing) and the behavioral themes that screen for incident ownership and judgment under ambiguity.
SRE loops assume fluency with how Linux schedules, how memory is laid out, and how TCP behaves under load. Anchor these before climbing into orchestration.
The tools the role lives in. Terraform and Kubernetes both surface in senior SRE interviews - know the primitives, the failure modes, and the trade-offs between them.
SRE coding rounds are usually pragmatic - rate-limiting, parsing logs, simple concurrency. Practice clean code and explicit error handling, not algorithmic acrobatics.
These are the bounded designs SRE interviewers reach for. Each one is a vehicle for the same conversation: what fails, how you detect it, how you recover.
SRE behavioral rounds screen hard for incident ownership and judgment under ambiguity. Have one strong story per theme below, with concrete numbers (MTTR, blast radius, customer impact).
The four sheets that map most directly to the SRE day job - and to the debugging questions interviewers open with.
Original scenario-style practice exams written from the public exam guides, with a timed simulator and per-domain scoring. CKA in particular is the one hiring managers recognise for this role; the three cloud DevOps professional exams are the deeper follow-up on whichever platform you run.
21 role-targeted paths are live, from new-grad and backend through SRE, security, data and engineering management. If you have a role you want covered, let us know.
