1. In your current project, could you describe the overall architecture of your CI/CD pipeline that you have designed for cloud applications in Azure DevOps?
2. Can you explain how you handled the integration of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) into your Azure DevOps pipeline? Did you use tools like Azure Resource Manager templates, Terraform, or others to manage resources, and how did it integrate with your CI/CD pipeline?
3. How do you manage different deployment strategies like Blue-Green Deployment or Canary Releases using Azure DevOps and Azure Cloud?
4. In your project, how do you handle the automation of your build pipelines using Azure DevOps?
5. Can you provide examples of scripts or commands you’ve used in the release pipeline for deploying to multiple environments
6. You mentioned using GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation. Can you provide a practical example of a custom script you created using GitHub Actions for automated testing or build tasks?
7. In Azure DevOps, you can use Azure CLI or PowerShell commands to automate tasks. Can you give an example of how you utilized these tools in your CI/CD pipeline to interact with Azure resources, such as creating or updating Azure VMs, storage accounts, or App Services?
8. In the context of your deployment pipeline, can you explain how you wrote a script that triggers the deployment process after successful completion of build steps? How do you implement a rollback strategy if something goes wrong during deployment?
9. Tell me the deployment process of a web application to Azure App Services using Azure DevOps pipelines. What steps and commands do you include in the pipeline, from building the artifact to testing and deploying to production?
10. How did you implement continuous monitoring during the deployment process? Could you give an example of how you track deployments in real-time, and how do you handle failed deployments?
11. In your current project, how did you handle the containerization of applications using Docker? Can you walk us through the process of creating a Dockerfile for a web application and how you integrated it into your Azure DevOps pipeline?
12. Once you containerized an application, how did you manage the deployment to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)? What steps did you follow to push your Docker images to Azure Container Registry (ACR), and how did you create and deploy Kubernetes manifests (YAML)?
13. Let’s say during a deployment, your build pipeline has passed successfully, but the deployment to a pre-prod environment fails. What steps would you take to debug the issue, and which logs or commands would you check first in Azure DevOps?
14. In your CI/CD pipeline, how do you handle automated testing? Can you explain how you integrated unit tests, into your pipeline using Azure DevOps?

1. In a cluster with two nodes, one with pods and the other without, which node will a new pod be scheduled to?
2. If an application running in a container encounters an OOM (Out-of-Memory) error, will the container restart, or will the entire Pod be recreated?

5. Can a Service of type ClusterIP ensure load balancing for TCP traffic?
6. How should application logs be collected, and is there a risk of losing logs?
7. If an HTTP Server Pod’s livenessProbe is functioning correctly, does it mean the application is problem-free?
8. How can an application scale to handle traffic fluctuations?
9. When you execute kubectl exec -it <pod> -- bash, are you logging into the pod?
10. How would you troubleshoot if a container in a Pod repeatedly exits and restarts?

1) Check logs first, always – Logs contain the first clues; learn how to filter, search, and analyze them efficiently.
2) Trace the request flow – Understand how a request moves through the system to pinpoint failures faster.
3) Use process of elimination – Isolate components one by one to find the root cause instead of guessing.
4) Know the difference between infra and app issues – Is it a misconfigured server, network problem, or bad code?
5) Validate external dependencies – If your service relies on APIs, databases, or third-party tools, check their status.
6) Check system resource limits – Running out of memory, CPU, or disk can cause random failures.
7) Reproduce the issue in a test environment – If possible, recreate the failure to understand it better.
8) Keep a "known issues" doc – If something breaks often, document the fix so you (or others) don’t waste time.
9) Use health checks effectively – Proper liveness and readiness probes can detect and prevent hidden failures.
10) Know when to escalate – If you've checked the usual suspects and still can't fix it, don't waste time, get help.
