Hi,
I have an onsite coming up,
Recruiter mentioned question like,
Design a data center network to support 10k servers, describe topology, different protocols usage, merchant hardware, Monitoring system, Remidiation system usage etc
What are the good resources to prepare for such questions... Example.. Any Paid videos, any YouTube useful channel/author... Any other resources for mock type questions??
Plesse answer folks.

For example this is pretty much the alert for the question: https://engineering.fb.com/production-engineering/introducing-data-center-fabric-the-next-generation-facebook-data-center-network/
I would recommend reading each of their articles related to DC, servers, and from each post all yourself what do these terms mean and keep repeating.
These are things you should do keep your skills up continually and not only for when you are prepping for an interview. For example that article is from 6 years ago.
Otherwise you run the risk having a great interview and not meeting expectations when you actually get on the job.
Hence this post
