DevOps engineer interview questions by company

Interview guides for DevOps engineers: reported rounds, difficulty and questions from candidates, company by company. Free to read.

DevOps and platform interviews test how you run systems, not only how you write code. Expect questions on CI/CD pipelines, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code with Terraform, cloud networking, monitoring and alerting, and how you handle an incident at 2 a.m.

Most loops mix a practical screen with scenario rounds. You may be asked to debug a failing deployment, design a release process with safe rollbacks, or explain how you would cut cloud cost without hurting reliability. Interviewers listen for trade-offs, a clear order of steps and honest talk about past outages.

Each guide below lists the rounds, difficulty and questions that candidates reported for that company, from public sources. Guides for India-based companies come first where they exist, then global product companies. PortLume AI is unofficial and not affiliated with any company named.

Questions about these guides

What do DevOps interviews usually cover?

CI/CD, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, cloud services, monitoring, incident response and scripting. Senior loops add system design and cost or reliability trade-offs.

Do DevOps interviews include coding rounds?

Often a light one. Expect scripting in Python or Bash, and sometimes a small automation task, more than algorithm puzzles.

How should I prepare for a DevOps interview?

Rebuild a small pipeline end to end, review one real outage you handled, and practice explaining your choices out loud. Then read the guide for your target company.

Are these guides official?

No. They are unofficial and built from public candidate reports.
