💡 The Senior SRE Mindset · Real Production Troubleshooting

❌ Don't prepare only for textbook definitions:

  • "What is Kubernetes?"
  • "What is Terraform?"
  • "What is a Docker container?"
  • "What is an AWS Security Group?"

✅ Prepare for high-stakes production reality:

  • Production is down: What do you check in the first 60 seconds?
  • Commands & Tools: Which exact CLI commands, metrics, and logs isolate root cause?
  • Candidate Storytelling: How do you frame past production challenges compellingly?
  • Safe Recovery & Prevention: How do you fix it without downtime or data loss?
