How would you describe a typical modern DevOps project architecture?
Quick Answer
Microservices on Kubernetes (EKS), CI/CD via Jenkins or GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code with Terraform, container images in ECR, observability with Prometheus and Grafana, and centralized logs (CloudWatch/ELK) — often GitOps for delivery.
Detailed Answer
A clean high-level answer ties the pieces into a flow: code to CI (build/test/scan) to image in ECR to deploy (Helm/Argo) to EKS to observed by Prometheus/Grafana and logs, with Terraform provisioning the platform and secrets in Vault/Secrets Manager. Interviewers want to see you understand how components connect, not just a tool list.
Interview Tip
Present it as a connected flow (code to CI to registry to deploy to observe) rather than a bag of tools — coherence is the signal.
