Cloud related clarification questions for system design interview.
Hi, I have a interview coming up with Microsoft and realized that one of the round will be system design. I have gone through a few example system design questions on YouTube. But none of them talk about hosting the solution on cloud. I have been actively building application leveraging cloud and was wondering if it’s a good idea to ask the interviewer if the system we are designing is for cloud? If the answer is yes, what would be some good clarification questions? These are the things I can think of : 1. Can I use a managed service for my data base. 2. Do I need to worry about inter region data replication 3. Talking about dns routing and so on Thanks for helping me out here.
