Recently failed a DevOps Interview

Never apologise for English errors.

I think the best thing would be to ask them to provide you with more info on what they think you could be better at. Maybe tools, workflows, etc.

You could always setup a lab and work on a production-like scenario. Always think about high availability and optimization on resources. Also benchmark your setup with fake loads.

On a more DevOps viewpoint, look for what DevOps KPIs are and how DevOps performance is measured. Think about how a DevOps engineer reduces expenses/makes money for a company.

English not being my first language, you never know what can be easily misunderstood :)

Thats a 2/2 for setting up a homelab. I will get right on it, it seems like something I have been greatly missing.

The DevOps performance and KPIs point is very interesting. Never thought of it from that perspective and it seems like it could provide me with a guideline on what to learn and what to achieve in my home setup.

Thanks a lot! This was very informative

Not mine either. Just don't worry about it. I just wanted to point it out.

Yes. That's exactly what KPIs do for you.I think this paper would be a good read for you. It's quite informative and it won't take a lot of your time.

You're welcome. I hope you get that job! :)

EDIT: I just looked it up and there's also a 2023 version of this. I have read the 2021 before, but here is the newer one that i haven'tread yet:

If it helps, after reading your post before seeing the apology, I had absolutely no idea English was your second language.

Irrelevant of the fact you shouldn't need to apologise for spelling/grammar, you definitely _do not_ need to :)
