Problem
Discuss deploying and operating services on GCP/AWS using infrastructure-as-code and containers.
Be ready to discuss
- Terraform: declarative IaC, state management and locking, modules,
plan/apply, drift.
- Docker: image layering, multi-stage builds, slim images, registries, build vs runtime config.
- Kubernetes: deployments and replica sets, services and ingress, horizontal pod autoscaling, liveness/readiness probes, rolling updates and rollbacks, config/secrets.
- Cloud specifics: managed clusters (GKE/EKS), IAM, and networking basics.
