Book Description

In the high-stakes world of cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes technical interviews are notoriously challenging, and theory-heavy resources leave candidates unprepared for real-world scenarios. This guide by Viktor Vedmich and Alexander Dovnar, two seasoned professionals with decades of combined experience in DevOps, AWS, and Kubernetes architecture, bridges that gap to help you unlock actionable strategies and insights to excel in even the toughest interviews. Beginning with core concepts such as Pods and Services, the book guides you through scaling, networking, GitOps, and deployment strategies. You’ll explore advanced topics, including security, observability, monitoring, and troubleshooting, all framed in the context of real-world interviews. Each chapter includes practical scenarios and authentic questions that test both your understanding and problem-solving skills. Rather than relying on rote memorization, this guide helps you develop the depth and confidence expected of top-tier Kubernetes professionals. By the end of this hands-on journey, you'll be ready to take on roles from junior DevOps engineer to senior architect, equipped with the practical expertise needed to stand out in today’s competitive hiring process.
