I had a 45-minute video conversation with the hiring manager where we discussed my background. I also had to answer a few technical questions around Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes.

Following the interview, I was emailed a take-home assignment which involved deploying a "Hello World" Python app to Kubernetes via Docker. I was told I would automatically be scheduled for a follow-up interview upon submission, regardless of the solution, to explain my implementation.

Instead, I was sent a generic rejection email just a few hours after submitting. I had spent my entire weekend putting the project together, refining my code, and writing two pages of detailed explanation behind my technical choices, so this was frustrating to say the least.

When I emailed the recruiter asking for feedback, I was given a very vague response that was irrelevant to the assignment requirements. I was given the opportunity to chat further over the phone with the technical recruiter but declined because I felt I had already wasted too much time going through this very unprofessional process.

What is the difference between AWS ALB and NLB?

Can you explain when you would use "for_each" vs. "count" in Terraform?

Can you explain, in as much depth as possible, how a Kubernetes ingress functions and why it is necessary?
