Pair them with an experienced team member to walk them through the pipeline.

Organize a dedicated training session to explain the pipeline's architecture and processes.

Assign them a small task related to the pipeline to get them hands-on experience.

Question 2: You want to implement security monitoring for your infrastructure. What tools or techniques would you use?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Set up intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) to monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.

Collect and analyze logs from various systems and applications to identify potential security incidents.

Use security information and event management (SIEM) tools to aggregate and correlate security events from different sources.

All of the above.

Question 3: You are onboarding a new team member who is unfamiliar with your organization's CI/CD pipeline. How do you ensure their successful integration and contribution to the team?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Provide comprehensive documentation and training materials on the pipeline's architecture and processes.

Assign them a mentor or buddy to guide them through the pipeline and answer their questions.

Encourage them to shadow experienced team members during pipeline execution and troubleshooting.

Have them start by working on smaller, less critical parts of the pipeline to gain familiarity.

Question 4: You are migrating a large on-premises database to a cloud-based managed database service. How do you ensure data consistency and minimal downtime during the migration process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use a database migration tool provided by the cloud provider to automate the data transfer and schema conversion process.

Implement a dual-write strategy, where data is written to both the on-premises and cloud databases during the migration, ensuring data consistency.

Perform a full database backup and restore it to the cloud database, followed by incremental backups and restores to catch up with any changes during the migration.

Leverage database replication technologies to synchronize data between the on-premises and cloud databases, minimizing downtime during the cutover.

Question 5: Your team is adopting a new CI/CD tool. How do you ensure security is integrated into the pipeline from the start?

Choose only one option

Configure the tool with default security settings and rely on its built-in security features.

Perform a security assessment of the tool before integrating it into the pipeline.

Implement security scanning and testing as part of the pipeline stages.

Train the team on secure coding practices and pipeline configuration.

Question 6: You discover a misconfiguration in a cloud service that exposes sensitive data. What's your immediate course of action?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Correct the misconfiguration and notify affected users about the potential data exposure.

Report the incident to the security team and follow their incident response procedures.

Temporarily disable the cloud service until the misconfiguration is fixed.

Conduct a forensic investigation to determine the extent of the data exposure.
