Scripting and Automation Questions

Practical skills in authoring and maintaining automation scripts to manage cloud resources and routine operations. Candidates should be able to write and explain scripts in PowerShell, Python, and Bash to provision infrastructure, configure systems, implement runbook steps, automate maintenance tasks, and orchestrate simple deployments. Emphasize clean code practices such as modular functions, input validation, error handling, idempotency, logging, and safe handling of credentials. Be prepared to discuss how scripts integrate with command line interfaces and software development kits and how they are incorporated into continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows.
