I got some straight forward questions on technologies like rabbitmq, kafka, eks, and aws. These were mainly around what my experience with these things are or if I have used similar technologies in other roles. There were also some questions on process, like google SRE best practices, chaos testing, and SLOs. Most questions I had were more experiential questions asking about personal experience. This made for a friendly interaction and everyone on the interview panel seemed interested in hearing the answers.
