Cloud Architect Interview Questions

1,091 cloud architect interview questions shared by candidates

During the Loop interview, almost all interviewers asked behavioral/situational questions. e.g. “Tell me about a time when you had to interact with a difficult client. How did you handle it?” with follow-up clarification questions (know the 14 Leadership Principles and the STAR method of response). One of the 45 minute sessions was whiteboarding. Specifically, demonstrating how to deploy a web application properly (security, load balancing, storage, content distribution). All of the interviewers were friendly and helpful. They would begin each session covering the best way to respond to questions.
