Cloud SDK and API Integration Questions

Demonstrate effective use of cloud provider software development kits and service application programming interfaces to build reliable integrations. Candidates should cover authenticating and authorizing API calls, client library usage patterns, handling rate limits and throttling, error models and retry policies, schema and contract management for APIs, using service emulators and mocks for testing, and combining SDK based interactions with automation and infrastructure as code workflows. Interviewers will evaluate trade offs between using managed SDKs direct API calls and higher level tooling.
