    Most random round ever. Follow the pattern given.

    The interviewer wanted some specific answers and driving me towards that.
    Things I did not do well -
    1. He wanted me to answer what is an enterprise incident management process is. Incident commander and everything.
    2. Measure something particular request path is failing - I gave crash reporting, web server and access logs which might have some latency analyzing and not real time.
    3. Asked me about 99.99% availability. I said if each component gives me 99.99% Interrupted me before going forward. quite surprised here.. Did not let me cover a lot of things what can I do to guarantee 99.99% availability. Then asked how can make my web tier 99.99%, gave CI/CD, feature flags etc.
    Biggest red flag - did not mention multi-AZ.

    Ended the interview 10 minutes early for questions.

    Anybody up for SRE Interview - Mug up Google SRE Book. All your questions will come from it.

    I cleared the Atlassian sre craft interview. The interviewer liked my initiative to read about how Atlassian does things.

    He liked that I could answer most of his questions even though I am coming from a software engineering background.

    The interviewer felt since lack of enterprise sre experience I missed few questions
