Process
Online technical interview: asked about Kubernetes and Terraform.
However, I felt very disengaged as the both interviewers, hiring for a Singapore position, did not even bother to turn on their cameras for the interview.
Questions
What is the container equivalent in Kubernetes?
The answer is a pod, but technically a Kubernetes pod can actually have one or more containers.
If another teammate changes an infrastructure configuration (that was previously provisioned by Terraform) outside the Terraform workflow (through the command line), how do you manage the desync?
