The one-to-one meeting started with a casual conversation, about myself, my background and what I do in Master's degree. Then I was given two test cases. The deprtment works on carrier systems (ICS) to desing efficient conveyors that handle raw baggage. I was also given some instructions about system's goal and a bluprint of that system. On the blueprint I had to explain on specific points what functionalities should exist, for example "this platform should wait until the next luggage comes" or "spot B should move right or left only". After this questions, I was not asked any other software question.

You need to migrate a running application from one EKS cluster to another without downtime. How would you achieve this? Your GKE cluster is running out of resources due to high CPU utilization. How do you troubleshoot and scale it properly? A new developer needs access to view logs and pod details in a specific namespace. How do you configure RBAC for this? You have multiple workloads in a cluster, and some need to run on nodes with SSDs while others can run on standard disks. How do you enforce this using Kubernetes?
