devops-exercises

A repository of questions and exercises on technical topics, some of them DevOps and SRE related, that the README warns are not a real interview.

GitHub frames it as DevOps interview questions covering Linux, Jenkins, AWS, SRE, Prometheus, Docker, Python, Ansible, Git, Kubernetes, Terraform, OpenStack, SQL, NoSQL, Azure, GCP, DNS, Elastic, network, and virtualization. The README description is a bit broader, calling it questions and exercises on various technical topics, sometimes related to DevOps and SRE, so the metadata leans interview while the README leans study bank.

The README says the material can help with interview preparation but that most of the questions and exercises do not represent an actual interview, pointing to an FAQ page for detail. It also warns anyone chasing a DevOps career that useful does not mean learning every topic listed in the repository.

The network entries read like study notes. Ethernet is described as the most common type of local area network, a MAC address as a unique identifier for devices on the network, and a subnet mask as a 32 bit number that splits an IP address into network and host parts. Private and public IP addresses get their own explanations, as do broadcast and multicast delivery, and the OSI layers are mapped to protocols, with HTTP at the application layer and bits at the physical one.

Contributors are invited to submit pull requests with new exercises, and the README points to contribution guidelines. The repository metadata names Python as the primary language with no license identifier recorded, and the star count sits in the tens of thousands.
