First round was a telephone interview, which was a little difficult to prepare for given the job spec was so vague. The interviewer asked me about my experience and gave me some intro, then asked me some high-level questions around: -Basic linux commands (tail, netstat etc) -CI/CD (what it is, what's it's used for, how multiple jenkins projects might be managed) -Public cloud -Experience with Python -Source control, why it's used etc -General devops philosophy -PKI The interviewer was quite friendly but wasn't the chattiest person; ultimately I didn't receive an offer despite answering all the questions. Despite the interviewer seeming happy with the answers I'd given I apparently didn't to not going into enough depth.

1st stage interview call was in a rush, focusing on reaching max 30-minute total time. They decided no to process with me based on this one stage, where no real technical questions were asked, but they already knew that I don't have enough knowledge/experience on AWS, was is in fact a funny assumption when 2 months ago I was interviewed to role where 100% resources are based on AWS + Terraform and I got offer after a positive technical stage. If they assumed only from my CV that I don't have enough skills in this subject, why even bother the candidate with the 1st stage?
