A few sample questions
Just examples to set expectations - the real interview has many more and adapts to your responses.
“Can you explain what the shared-responsibility model means in cloud computing, and give me a simple example of what the cloud provider handles versus what the customer is responsible for?
“What is a Kubernetes admission controller, and how does something like OPA Gatekeeper use it to enforce security policy?
“Describe how a Kubernetes pod-to-pod lateral movement attack works. What existing cluster features should an attacker be expected to abuse, and which defensive controls directly limit that movement?
