I have an interview coming up for a DevOps Consultant position at AWS, and quite confused about what to expect. I was contacted by a recruiter for this position, and I've made it transparent that majority of my background, if not all, is in SysAdmin; Currently Cloud Ops Engineer/Consultant, building infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines for clients using AWS services. It's been my understanding that, DevOps position (yes, I am familiar with the role vs. culture surrounding DevOps) requires coding background? I am afraid that I'll just be grilled on coding through my interview(s) from an error made by the recruiter. #amazon #aws #interview #devops

It should be the same format as other consultant interviews in pro-serve. Standard technical fundamentals phone screen then 4 or 5 1:1 onsite with 1 whiteboard session. I didnt get asked specific coding questions (im a cloud architect/consultant with pro-serve). However they may drill down a little more into devops role specifics but its not like LC questions or anything, or at least it shouldnt be. If you're already building out CI/CD pipelines you should have the fundamentals. Maybe touch on Lambda and other serverless services? What location?
Thank you for the response. There are multiple locations posted, and mentions "Nationwide Opportunity" - I assume it's a remote position with high travel rate. In building CI/CD pipelines, writing automation scripts in Python is the extent of my coding ability. My company primarily utilize AWS for infrastructure services, while we use external sources to build software factories that consist of: Git, Jenkins, Maven, Docker, Ansible, Kubernetes, etc. Do you recommend that I brush up on AWS serverless services to highlight my involvement/knowledge in AWS? or will the panel focus on testing the experiences I have?
I would recommend both and highlight what you do currently as you listed and get more of deeper dive into serverless AWS services. Its likely not a remote position, you will be placed in an office with pro-serve folks. However it will have travel, yes, and travel is highly dependent on the project, duration and customer if they need you specifically on site or not. Where are you living now? Open to relo?
