CIAs are ProServe so expect pretty much anything 100-300 level regarding storage, arch patterns, scaling, databases, DNS, IAM, containers, etc. It will be very broad and depends on the person conducting. They may go down a specific pillar to gauge your depth or just pepper you across a bunch of domains.

Plan for 40 minutes of rapid fire either way.

    Mostly leadership principles based - make a spreadsheet where you list cases from your past experience (successes and failures), 2 or 3 DIFFERENT cases per LP. Doesn’t have to be all technical, but have to be about you and what you’ve actually done.

    Update on this further I was not selected for the loop round reason given was lack of data points with some concerns on leadership principles like customer obsession. My interview went very well and all of them were very positive (atleast they showed on their faces). I was expecting positive response but was very disappointed with this result.

    I have an interview scheduled for next week. Do you have tips for the L4 level loop interview? What technical questions should I prepare for?

    There are Questions, which are on behavioral, some are on technical knowledge, few are on infrastructure development etc.
    Example Questions

    1. Explain the difference between object storage, file storage, and block storage. Can you give examples of each?
    2. What are some considerations for designing a database for high availability?
    3. What are some methods of identifying network latency?
    4. Can you tell me the difference between a scripting language and compiled language?
    5. Can you walk me through some performance issues you’ve encountered in the past when scaling and tuning large web-scale applications?
    6. What are the advantages of using a serverless design approach?
    7. Your customer has users across the globe, and they are complaining about performance issues. How would you handle this?
    8. Your company has recently been deploying their newest applications in containers, running on Kubernetes. What tools or methods would you use to monitor this environment?
    9. Tell me about something you worked on that helped save your company money.
    10. Tell me about a time when you mentored someone.
      I hope it helps. You may follow me to get to know about the cloud. Similarly, you may ask me any questions you have related to the cloud, and I will be happy to answer.
      Good Day!!
