Top 20 Devops Engineer Interview Questions And Answers For 2023 | Devops Tutorial | Simplilearn
Isolating development and operations
teams completely.
B
Enhancing collaboration between
development and operations teams.
C
Ignoring automation and continuous
integration.
D
Making programs slower and more
complex.
A
What does DevOps aim to achieve in software development?
What is DevOps ?
DevOps combines the work of Developers and operations team,
so that they may collaborate easily across the whole software
development life cycle
What do you know about DevOps ?
01
DevOps is comparable to teamwork, enhancing collaboration between
developers and operations for faster, error-reduced software
development, similar to how a soccer team works together to achieve
victory from planning to execution.
How is DevOps different from agile methodolgy ?
02
DevOps embodies a collaborative approach, uniting software
creators and operators, while Agile involves incremental progress
by releasing small software segments promptly and gathering
user feedback.
What are the ways in which a build can we scheduled/run in
Jenkins ?
03
• By source code management commits.
• After the completion of other builds.
• Scheduled to run at a specified time.
• Manual build requests.
What are the different phases in DevOps ?
04
• Plan
• Code
• Build
• Test
• Integrate
• Deploy
• Operate
• Monitor
Mention some of the core benefits of DevOps
05
Technical Benefits:
• Continuous software delivery
• Less complex problems to manage
• Early detection and faster correction of defects
Business Benefits:
• Faster delivery of features
• Stable operating environments
• Improved communication and collaboration
between the teams
How will you approach a project that needs to
implement DevOps ?
06
Step 1 First, we look at how things are currently done and figure out
where we can make them better.
Step 2 Next, we create a small test to show that our plan works.
Step 3 Now, we're all set to actually use DevOps. We do things like
keeping track of different versions of our work, putting everything
together, testing it etc.
How will you approach a project that needs to
implement DevOps ?
07
Continuous Deployment
Continuous Delivery
Ensures code can be safely deployed on to
production
Every change that passes the automated tests
is deployed to production
Ensures business applications and services
function as expected
Makes software development and the release
process faster
Delivers every change to a production-like
environment
There is no explicit approval from a
developer
Name three security mechanisms Jenkins uses to
authenticate users.
08
• Jenkins uses an internal database to store user
data and credentials.
• Jenkins can use the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server to authenticate
users.
• Jenkins can be configured to employ the
authentication mechanism that the deployed
application server uses.
How does continuous monitoring help you maintain
the entire architecture of the system
09
Continuous monitoring within DevOps involves the ongoing
identification, detection, and reporting of any anomalies or
security risks across the entire system infrastructure.
It guarantees the proper functioning of services, applications,
and resources on servers.
By overseeing server statuses, it assesses the accuracy of
application operations.
What is the role of AWS in DevOps ?
10
• Adaptable Service
• Designed for Expansion
• Automated Operations
• Enhanced Security
• Extensive Partner Network
Name three important DevOps KPI’s.
11
• Meantime to failure recovery
• Deployment frequency
• Percentage of failed deployments
How is IaC implemented using AWS?
12
The shift from manual scripting and isolated testing to
Infrastructure as Code (IaC), supported by AWS, enables
developers to efficiently create, evaluate, and manage
infrastructure components, enhancing development and swift
implementation of changes.
Describe the branching strategies you have used.
13
• Release branching
• Feature branching
• Task branching
Can you explain the ‘Shiftleft to reduce failure’
concept in DevOps?
14
By employing the left shift approach, we can introduce
security measures during the earlier development
phase, denoted as the "left."
What is the Blue/Green Deployment Pattern ?
15
This approach focuses on smooth deployment by
transitioning traffic between instances with updated
code in a green environment while retaining the old
version in blue, ensuring minimal downtime.
What is Continuous Testing ?
16
Continuous Testing automates tests throughout the
software delivery process, promptly identifying business
risks in the latest release, enhancing development
efficiency, and accelerating productivity by integrating
testing across all stages.
What are the benefits of Automation Testing ?
17
• Helps to save money and time.
• Unattended execution can be easily done.
• Huge test matrices can be easily tested.
• Parallel execution is enabled.
• Reduced human-generated errors, which results in
improved accuracy.
• Repeated test tasks execution is supported.
What is a Dockerfile used for ?
18
• A Dockerfile is used for creating Docker images using
the build command.
• With a Docker image, any user can run the code to
create Docker containers.
• Once a Docker image is built, it's uploaded in a Docker
registry.
• From the Docker registry, users can get the Docker
image and build new containers whenever they want.
What is the purpose of reverting a commit that has
already been pushed?
19
1. Remove or fix the bad file in a new commit and push it to
the remote repository. Then commit it to the remote
repository using:
git commit –m "commit message"
2. Create a new commit that undoes all the changes that
were made in the bad commit. Use the following command:
git revert <commit id>
How do you find a list of files that have been changed
in a particular commit?
20
git diff-tree –r {commit hash}
Example: git diff-tree –r 87e673f21b
• -r flag instructs the command to list individual files
• commit hash will list all the files that were changed or
added in that commit
