10 Scenarios Cloud/DevOps Professionals Face Under Job Pressure 1.????Service Outage: A critical service on AWS goes down unexpectedly, and the team needs to identify the cause and restore service quickly without a predefined solution. 2.????Deployment Failure: An automated deployment to Azure fails, causing a production application to be partially deployed. The team must troubleshoot and complete the deployment under tight deadlines. 3.????Configuration Drift: Unexpected behavior in a multi-cloud environment (AWS and Azure) due to configuration drift. The team needs to identify the inconsistencies and rectify them without ready-made scripts. 4.????Security Breach: A suspected security breach in the cloud environment requires immediate attention to identify the vulnerability, mitigate the threat, and implement a long-term solution. 5.????Data Corruption: Data in a critical database is corrupted following an update. The team must quickly identify the cause, restore the data, and ensure it doesn't happen again. 6.????Scaling Issues: An application on Azure faces performance issues due to unexpected traffic. The team must quickly scale the resources to handle the load without predefined scaling policies. 7.????API Gateway Failure: The API Gateway on AWS fails, causing a service outage. The team must diagnose and resolve the issue to restore API services promptly. 8.????Network Latency: Users experience high network latency in a distributed application. The team must identify and resolve network bottlenecks without predefined tools. 9.????Dependency Failures: A third-party service integrated into a cloud application fails, causing disruptions. The team must implement a workaround to maintain service continuity. 10.Compliance Audit Failure: A compliance audit reveals gaps in cloud security practices. The team must address the findings, implement necessary changes, and pass the re-audit within a limited timeframe. These scenarios require a combination of technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work under pressure, making them ideal for testing and improving a professional's capabilities in real-world situations.
