## Q&A
The questions I've been asked at least once.
### What is the purpose of repository?
Learning
@ -7,12 +9,12 @@ Learning
### My goal is to prepare for a DevOps interview. How to do that?
I've added a couple of suggestions [here](prepare_for_interview.md)<br>
Feel free to contribute any ideas and insights you have.
Overall, this repository should help you learn some concepts but don't assume at any point that your interview will consist of questions included in this repository.
### How do I become a better DevOps Engineer?
That's a great question.<br>
I don't have a definitive answer for this question, but what I feel works for me is to:
I don't have a definitive answer for this question, but try the following:
* Practice - doing DevOps tasks/work should be the primary way to become a DevOps engineer (obvisouly)
* Read - Read blogs, books, ... anything that can enrich you about DevOps

Because we need more contributors ;)
### Where can I find answers to some of the questions in this repository?
1. Search for them using search engines, documentation pages, ... this is part of being a DevOps engineer
2. Use the communities - many people will be happy to help and answer your questions
3. Ask us. If you want, you can contact me or even open an issue that is only a question, that's totally fine :)
### Where the questions and answers are coming from?
Well, from everywhere - past experience, colleagues, contributors, ... But please note we do not allow copying interview questions from interview questions sites to here. There are people who worked hard on adding those to their sites and we respect that.

### What are the top DevOps skills required for being a DevOps Engineer?
It's a hard question and the reason is that if you'll ask 20 different people, you'll probably get at least 10 different answers but here is what we believe is common today:
It's a hard question and the reason is that if you'll ask 20 different people, you'll probably get at least 10 different answers but here is what I believe is common today:
* OS - DevOps require you good understanding of operating system concepts. The level required is mainly depends on the company although in my opinion it should be the same level. You should understand how the operating system works, how to troubleshoot and debug issues, etc.
* Coding is part of DevOps. The level again depends on the company. Some will require you to know basic level of scripting while others deep understanding of common algorithms, data structure, design patterns etc.
* Cloud and Containers - while not 100% must in all companies/positions, this skill is on the rise every year and many (if not most) of the positions/companies require this skill. This specifically means: AWS/Azure/GCP, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, ...

* CI/CD - Be able to to answer questions like "Why do we need CI/CD?" and "What ways and models are there to perform CI/CD?". Eventually, practice assembling such processes and workflow, using whatever tools you feel comfortable with.
### I feel like there are some questions that shouldn't be included in this project
Is that a question? :)
If you don't like some of the questions or think that some questions should be removed you can open an issue or submit a PR and we can discuss it there. We don't have rules against deleting questions

### Can I copy the questions from here to my site?
@ -47,7 +56,7 @@ You can but:
* Not without attribution. Many people worked hard on adding these questions and they deserve a proper credit for their work
* Not if you plan to make money out of it. Directly or indirectly (e.g. ADS) as this is a free content and we would like it to stay this way :)
Same goes for copying questions from sites to this repository. We saw it happened already with a couple of pull requests and we rejected them. We will not allow to copy content from people/sites to this repository.
Same goes for copying questions from different sources to this repository. We saw it happened already with a couple of pull requests and we rejected them. We will not merge pull requests with copied questions and answers from other sources.
### Can I add questions and/or answers to this project?
@ -55,7 +64,8 @@ I'll simply imagine you didn't ask that on an open source project... :)
### Why can't I add installation questions?
The purpose of the questions in this repository is to make you learn about a certain technology or purpose. I don't believe installation questions like "How to install Jenkins?" for example, teaches you anything value on Jenkins itself.
In most cases, I prefer questions added to this repository will have certain educational value for the user. Either regarding a certain concept or even a very general question, but one that will make you research on a certain topic and will make you more familiar with it.
I see little to none value in what is known as "Installation Questions". Let's say I ask you "how to install Jenkins?". Should I conclude from your answer that you are familiar with Jenkins? Is there a value in knowing how to install Jenkins? In my opinion, no.
### Where can I practice coding?

### How to learn more about Linux?
### How to learn more DevOps?
I gathered a list of resource [here](https://dev.to/abregman/collection-of-linux-resources-3nhk)
I listed some roadmaps in [devops-resources](https://github.com/bregman-arie/devops-resources)
For beginners, I recommend [Linux Journey](https://linuxjourney.com)
If you want to deep dive into operating systems internals, I really recommend [Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces](http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP)
### Why some questions repeat themselves?
If you see two identical questions, that's a bug.
If you see two similar questions, that's a feature :D (= it's intentional)
For example:
1. What is horizontal scaling?
2. The act of adding additional instances to the pool to handle scaling is called ________ scaling
You are right, both ask about horizontal scaling but first of all but, it's done from a different angel every time and in addition, I do believe repetition helps you to learn something better in a way where you are not fixed on one way it's asked.
