The interviewer focused on the fundamentals of the DevOps lifecycle and cloud scalability. I was asked to explain how CI/CD pipelines bridge the gap between development and operations, specifically highlighting the 'Shift Left' approach to security and testing. We also discussed cloud-native architecture, where I explained the difference between Horizontal and Vertical scaling and why Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is essential for maintaining environment consistency. They were looking for a solid understanding of how automation and cloud elasticity work together to reduce deployment downtime and improve system reliability.
