I'm currently a test automation engineer, and I've been working hard to transition into a DevOps engineer role. I've built up my technical skills, but I'm feeling a bit unsure when it comes to the interview process. I'm looking for structured advice on how to get ready for interviews and improve my chances of landing a DevOps position. If anyone could share some common interview questions or tips, I'd really appreciate it! I'm dedicated and eager to learn, so any guidance would help a lot.

Step 1: know your stuff. Step 2: get the job.
The first step is building your confidence in your skills, and then you’ll be ready for the interviews. Good luck!
I'm also transitioning into DevOps! If you come across any useful tips or resources, please let me know too!
DevOps interviews can vary a lot depending on the company, so it's important to check the job specifications directly. I found this repository really helpful for interviews - it covers system design nicely: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer. Also, where I work, the coding questions tend to be on the easier side, but they still disqualify a lot of candidates, so practice with sites like LeetCode.
You'll want to juggle a lot of topics at once. Get familiar with system design, tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices. Make sure you brush up on your programming skills, especially data structures and algorithms. Memorizing the AWS catalog isn't a bad idea either. It's a big process, but you'll get there! Just keep practicing everything consistently.
This repo is a game changer, thanks for sharing!
