As a DevOps engineer, we don’t deploy to cloud or servers daily, but most of our time is spent on troubleshooting. Here are some important HTTP status codes every DevOps engineer should know when troubleshooting:

🚫 Status code 403 Forbidden:
This usually occurs due to user permission issues, like incorrect IAM role or policy assignments.

🔍 Status code 404 Resource Not Found:
This typically happens when a route or method is unavailable on API Gateway or the backend server.

⚠️ Status code 502 Bad Gateway:
Occurs when a server acting as a gateway or proxy (e.g., Nginx, Apache, AWS API Gateway) receives an invalid or no response from the upstream server it's trying to communicate with.

⛔️ Status code 503 Service Unavailable:
Indicates that the server is temporarily unable to handle the request, often due to overload or maintenance.

🚨 What makes AWS Lambda so fast?


⚡️There are 4 main pillars:

1️⃣- Function Invocation
AWS Lambda supports synchronous and asynchronous invocation.
- In synchronous invocation, the caller directly calls the Lambda function using AWS CLI, SDK, or other services.
- In an asynchronous invocation, the caller doesn’t wait for the function’s response. The request is authorized and an event is placed in an internal SQS queue. Pollers read messages from the queue and send them for processing.

2️⃣ - Assignment Service
The Assignment Service manages the execution environments.
- The service is written in Rust for high performance and is divided into multiple partitions with a leader-follower approach for high availability.
- The state of execution environments is written to an external journal log.

3️⃣ - Firecracker MicroVM
Firecracker is a lightweight virtual machine manager designed for running serverless workloads such as AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate.
- It uses Linux’s Kernel-based virtual machine to create and manage secure, fast-booting microVMs.

4️⃣ - Component Storage
AWS Lambda also has to manage the state consisting of input data and function code.

⚡️To make it efficient, it uses multiple techniques:
- Chunking to store the container images more efficiently.
- Using convergent encryption to secure the shared data. This involves appending additional data to the chunk to compute a more robust hash.
- SnapStart feature to reduce cold start latency by pre-initializing the execution environment

▶️ Real-time interview questions and answers 💬 related to Ansible:-

1. How would you ensure that a specific package is installed on multiple servers?
Answer: You can use the package module in a playbook to ensure that a specific package is installed across multiple servers.

2. How do you handle different environments (development, testing, production) with Ansible?
Answer: You can manage different environments by using inventory files and group variables. Create separate inventory files for each environment and use group variables to specify environment-specific configurations. Each hosts file would define the servers for that specific environment, and you can create a group_vars directory for each environment.

3. How would you restart a service after updating a configuration file?
Answer: You can use the notify feature in Ansible to restart a service after a configuration file is updated.

4. How can you ensure idempotency in your Ansible playbook?
Answer: Ansible modules are designed to be idempotent, meaning they can be run multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. For instance, if you use the file module to create a file, Ansible will check if the file already exists before trying to create it.

5. How do you handle secrets or sensitive data in Ansible?
Answer: You can handle sensitive data using Ansible Vault, which allows you to encrypt files or variables.

6. Can you explain how you would deploy an application using Ansible?
Answer: Define Inventory: Create an inventory file with the target hosts.
Create a Playbook: Write a playbook that includes tasks for pulling the application code from a repository, installing dependencies, configuring files, and starting services.

7. How would you handle task failures and retries in Ansible?
Answer: You can use the retry and when directives to handle task failures in Ansible. The retries and delay parameters can be specified for tasks that might need to be retried.

8. How would you roll back a deployment if the new version fails?
Answer: To roll back a deployment, you can maintain a previous version of the application and use a playbook that checks the health of the new version before deciding to switch back.

9. How can you manage firewall rules across multiple servers using Ansible?
Answer: You can use the firewalld or iptables modules to manage firewall rules.

10. How do you implement a continuous deployment pipeline using Ansible?
Answer: To implement a continuous deployment pipeline, you can integrate Ansible with a CI/CD tool like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.

11. How can you check if a file exists and create it if it doesn't?
Answer: You can use the stat module to check if a file exists and then use the copy or template module to create it if it doesn’t.

12. How can you execute a command on remote hosts and capture its output?
Answer: You can use the command or shell module to run commands on remote hosts and register the output

👾 CICD vs. CICD? You might be saying it wrong...

While CICD gets thrown around a lot, it actually refers to two separate practices that work together in the software development lifecycle: Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD).

Here's a quick breakdown:

➡️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗖𝗜): Automates the process of merging code changes from developers into a shared mainline frequently. This means every push triggers builds, tests, and catches bugs early on.

➡️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆/𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗖𝗗): Takes CI a step further. It automates the entire delivery pipeline, allowing you to release new features or bug fixes to production environments quickly and reliably. CD can include manual approval gates before deployment, while Continuous Deployment (CD) automates deployments entirely.

Here's the key difference:

➡️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: Gives you a "deploy button" - the code is ready to be pushed to production with a manual go-ahead.

➡️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Takes it a step further. If all automated tests pass in CD, the code is automatically deployed to production without human intervention.
