 <summary>How do you measure your CI/CD quality? Are there any metrics or KPIs you are using for measuring the quality?</summary><br><b>
-
-Measuring the quality of CI/CD processes is crucial to identify areas for improvement, ensure efficient and reliable software delivery, and achieve continuous improvement. Here are some commonly used metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to measure CI/CD quality:
-
-1. Build Success Rate: This metric measures the percentage of successful builds compared to the total number of builds. A high build success rate indicates that the majority of builds are successful and the CI/CD pipeline is stable.
-2. Build and Deployment Time: This metric measures the time it takes to build and deploy changes from code commit to production. Faster build and deployment times indicate shorter feedback loops and faster time to market.
-3. Deployment Frequency: This metric measures the frequency of deployments to production within a given time period. Higher deployment frequency indicates faster release cycles and more frequent updates to production.
-4. Mean Time to Detect (MTTD): This metric measures the average time it takes to detect issues or defects in the CI/CD pipeline or production environment. Lower MTTD indicates faster detection and resolution of issues, leading to higher quality and more reliable deployments.
-5. Mean Time to Recover (MTTR): This metric measures the average time it takes to recover from issues or incidents in the CI/CD pipeline or production environment. Lower MTTR indicates faster recovery and reduced downtime, leading to higher availability and reliability.
-6. Feedback Loop Time: This metric measures the time it takes to receive feedback on code changes, including code reviews, test results, and other feedback mechanisms. Faster feedback loop times enable quicker iterations and faster improvements in the CI/CD process.
-7. Customer Satisfaction: This metric measures the satisfaction of end-users or customers with the quality and reliability of the deployed software. Higher customer satisfaction indicates that the CI/CD process is delivering high-quality software that meets customer expectations.
-
-These are just some examples of metrics and KPIs that can be used to measure the quality of CI/CD processes. It's important to choose metrics that align with the goals and objectives of your organization and regularly track and analyze them to continuously improve the CI/CD process and ensure high-quality software delivery.

 <summary>Have you used Jenkins for CI or CD processes? Can you describe them?</summary><br><b>
-
-Let's assume we have a web application built using Node.js, and we want to automate its build and deployment process using Jenkins. Here is how we can set up a simple CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins:
-
-1. Install Jenkins: We can install Jenkins on a dedicated server or on a cloud platform such as AWS or Google Cloud.
-2. Install necessary plugins: Depending on the specific requirements of the project, we may need to install plugins such as NodeJS, Git, Docker, and any other plugins required by the project.
-3. Create a new job: In Jenkins, a job is a defined set of instructions for automating a particular task. We can create a new job and configure it to build our Node.js application.
-4. Configure the job: We can configure the job to pull the latest code from the Git repository, install any necessary dependencies using Node.js, run unit tests, and build the application using a build script.
-5. Set up a deployment environment: We can set up a separate environment for deploying the application, such as a staging or production environment. We can use Docker to create a container image of the application and deploy it to the environment.
-6. Set up continuous deployment: We can configure the job to automatically deploy the application to the deployment environment if the build and tests pass.
-7. Monitor and troubleshoot: We can monitor the pipeline for errors or failures and troubleshoot any issues that arise.

-2. Pipeline job: Pipeline job is a newer feature in Jenkins that allows users to define a pipeline of jobs that can be executed in a specific order. The pipeline can be defined using a Jenkinsfile, which provides a script-like syntax for defining the pipeline stages, steps, and conditions.
-3. Multi-configuration job: This type of job allows users to execute the same job with multiple configurations, such as different operating systems, browsers, or devices. Jenkins will execute the job for each configuration specified, providing a matrix of results.
-4. Maven job: This type of job is specifically designed for building Java applications using the Maven build tool. Jenkins will execute the Maven build process, including compiling, testing, and packaging the application.
-5. Parameterized job: This type of job allows users to define parameters that can be passed into the build process at runtime. Parameters can be used to customize the build process, such as specifying the version number or target environment.

-
-In this example, the "Build" stage has three parallel stages, each running on a different node labeled as "node1", "node2", and "node3". The "Deploy" stage runs after the build is complete and runs on any available node.
-
-To use this pipeline script, you will need to have the three nodes (node1, node2, and node3) configured in Jenkins. You will also need to ensure that the necessary build commands and dependencies are installed on each node.

 <summary>Whenever a build fails, you would like to notify the team owning the job regarding the failure and provide failure reason. How would you do that?</summary><br><b>
-
-In Jenkins, you can use the "Email Notification" plugin to notify a team when a build fails. Here are the steps to set up email notifications for failed builds:
-
-1. Install the "Email Notification" plugin if it's not already installed in Jenkins.
-2. Go to the Jenkins job configuration page and click on "Configure".
-3. Scroll down to the "Post-build Actions" section and click on "Add post-build action".
-4. Select "Editable Email Notification" from the list of options.
-5. Fill out the required fields, such as the recipient email addresses, subject line, and email content. You can use Jenkins environment variables, such as ${BUILD_URL} and ${BUILD_LOG}, to include build-specific information in the email content.
-6. In the "Advanced Settings" section, select the "Send to recipients" option and choose "Only on failure" from the dropdown menu.
-7. Click "Save" to save the job configuration.
-
-With this setup, Jenkins will send an email notification to the specified recipients whenever a build fails, providing them with the failure reason and any other relevant information.

-
-In Jenkins, you can prioritize the builds of each team by using the "Priority Sorter" plugin. Here are the steps to set up build prioritization:
-
-1. Install the "Priority Sorter" plugin if it's not already installed in Jenkins.
-2. Go to the Jenkins system configuration page and click on "Configure Global Security". Scroll down to the "Access Control" section and click on "Per-project basis".
-3. In the "Project default actions" section, select "Configure build triggers and execution" from the dropdown menu. Click on "Add user or group" and add the groups that represent each team in your organization.
-4. Go to each Jenkins job configuration page and click on "Configure". Scroll down to the "Build Environment" section and click on "Add build step". Select "Set build priority with Priority Sorter" from the list of options.
-5. Set the priority of the job based on the team that owns it. For example, if Team X owns the job, set the priority to a higher value than the jobs owned by Team Y. Click "Save" to save the job configuration.
-
-With this setup, Jenkins will prioritize the builds of each team based on the priority value set in the job configuration. Jobs owned by Team X will have a higher priority than jobs owned by Team Y, ensuring that they are executed first.

 <summary>What is the different between a scripted pipeline to declarative pipeline? Which type are you using?</summary><br><b>
-
-Jenkins supports two types of pipelines: Scripted pipelines and Declarative pipelines.
-
-Scripted pipelines use Groovy syntax and provide a high degree of flexibility and control over the build process. Scripted pipelines allow developers to write custom code to handle complex scenarios, but can be complex and hard to maintain.
-
-Declarative pipelines are a newer feature and provide a simpler way to define pipelines using YAML syntax. Declarative pipelines provide a more structured and opinionated way to define builds, making it easier to get started with pipelines and reducing the risk of errors.
-
-Some key differences between the two types of pipelines are:
-
-1. Syntax: Scripted pipelines use Groovy syntax while declarative pipelines use YAML syntax.
-2. Structure: Declarative pipelines have a more structured format and define specific stages, while scripted pipelines provide more flexibility in defining build stages and steps.
-3. Error handling: Declarative pipelines provide a more comprehensive error handling system with built-in conditions and actions, while scripted pipelines require more manual error handling.
-4. Ease of use: Declarative pipelines are easier to use for beginners and provide a simpler syntax, while scripted pipelines require more expertise in Groovy and can be more complex.
-5. Maintenance: Declarative pipelines are easier to maintain and can be modified with less effort compared to scripted pipelines, which can be more difficult to modify and extend over time.
-
-I am familiar with both types of pipelines, but generally prefer declarative pipelines for their ease of use and simplicity.

 <details>
 <summary>How would you implement an option of a starting a build from a certain stage and not from the beginning?</summary><br><b>
-
-To implement an option of starting a build from a certain stage and not from the beginning in a Jenkins pipeline, we can use the `when` directive along with a custom parameter to determine the starting stage. Here are the steps to implement this:
-
-1. Add a custom parameter to the pipeline. This parameter can be a simple string or a more complex data type like a map.
-    
-    ```tsx
-    parameters {
-        string(name: 'START_STAGE', defaultValue: '', description: 'The name of the stage to start the build from')
-    }
-    ```
-    
-2. Use the `when` directive to conditionally execute stages based on the value of the `START_STAGE` parameter.
-    
-    ```tsx
-    stage('Build') {
-        when {
-            expression {
-                params.START_STAGE == '' || currentStage.name == params.START_STAGE
-            }
-        }
-        // Build steps go here
-    }
-    
-    stage('Test') {
-        when {
-            expression {
-                params.START_STAGE == '' || currentStage.name == params.START_STAGE || previousStage.result == 'SUCCESS'
-            }
-        }
-        // Test steps go here
-    }
-    
-    stage('Deploy') {
-        when {
-            expression {
-                params.START_STAGE == '' || currentStage.name == params.START_STAGE || previousStage.result == 'SUCCESS'
-            }
-        }
-        // Deploy steps go here
-    }
-    ```
-    
-
-  In this example, we use the `when` directive to execute each stage only if the `START_STAGE` parameter is empty or matches the current stage's name. Additionally, for the `Test` and `Deploy` stages, we also check if the previous stage executed successfully before running.
-
-3. Trigger the pipeline and pass the `START_STAGE` parameter as needed.
-    
-    ```tsx
-    pipeline {
-        agent any
-        parameters {
-            string(name: 'START_STAGE', defaultValue: '', description: 'The name of the stage to start the build from')
-        }
-        stages {
-            stage('Build') {
-                // Build steps go here
-            }
-            stage('Test') {
-                // Test steps go here
-            }
-            stage('Deploy') {
-                // Deploy steps go here
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    ```
-    
-
-When triggering the pipeline, you can pass the `START_STAGE` parameter to start the build from a specific stage.
-
-For example, if you want to start the build from the `Test` stage, you can trigger the pipeline with the `START_STAGE` parameter set to `'Test'`:
-
-```tsx
-pipeline?START_STAGE=Test
-```
-
-This will cause the pipeline to skip the `Build` stage and start directly from the `Test` stage.

 <summary>Do you have experience with developing a Jenkins plugin? Can you describe this experience?</summary><br><b>
-
-Developing a Jenkins plugin requires knowledge of Java and familiarity with Jenkins API. The process typically involves setting up a development environment, creating a new plugin project, defining the plugin's extension points, and implementing the desired functionality using Java code. Once the plugin is developed, it can be packaged and deployed to Jenkins.
-
-The Jenkins plugin ecosystem is extensive, and there are many resources available to assist with plugin development, including documentation, forums, and online communities. Additionally, Jenkins provides tools such as Jenkins Plugin POM Generator and Jenkins Plugin Manager to help with plugin development and management.

-<summary>What does it mean when a database is ACID compliant?</summary><br>
-
-ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability. In order to be ACID compliant, the database must meet each of the four criteria
-
-**Atomicity** - When a change occurs to the database, it should either succeed or fail as a whole.
-
-For example, if you were to update a table, the update should completely execute. If it only partially executes, the
-update is considered failed as a whole, and will not go through - the DB will revert back to it's original
-state before the update occurred. It should also be mentioned that Atomicity ensures that each
-transaction is completed as it's own stand alone "unit" - if any part fails, the whole statement fails.
-
-**Consistency** - any change made to the database should bring it from one valid state into the next.
-
-For example, if you make a change to the DB, it shouldn't corrupt it. Consistency is upheld by checks and constraints that
-are pre-defined in the DB. For example, if you tried to change a value from a string to an int when the column
-should be of datatype string, a consistent DB would not allow this transaction to go through, and the action would
-not be executed
-
-**Isolation** - this ensures that a database will never be seen "mid-update" - as multiple transactions are running at
-the same time, it should still leave the DB in the same state as if the transactions were being run sequentially.
-
-For example, let's say that 20 other people were making changes to the database at the same time. At the
-time you executed your query, 15 of the 20 changes had gone through, but 5 were still in progress. You should
-only see the 15 changes that had completed - you wouldn't see the database mid-update as the change goes through.
-
-**Durability** - Once a change is committed, it will remain committed regardless of what happens
-(power failure, system crash, etc.). This means that all completed transactions
-must be recorded in non-volatile memory.
-
-Note that SQL is by nature ACID compliant. Certain NoSQL DB's can be ACID compliant depending on
-how they operate, but as a general rule of thumb, NoSQL DB's are not considered ACID compliant

 * Node security - By default workloads are provisioned on Compute engine instances that use Google's Container Optimised OS. This operating system implements a locked-down firewall, limited user accounts with root disabled and a read-only filesystem. There is a further option to enable GKE Sandbox for stronger isolation in multi-tenant deployment scenarios.
 * Network security - Within a created cluster VPC, Anthos GKE leverages a powerful software-defined network that enables simple Pod-to-Pod communications. Network policies allow locking down ingress and egress connections in a given namespace. Filtering can also be implemented to incoming load-balanced traffic for services that require external access, by supplying whitelisted CIDR IP ranges.
 * Workload security - Running workloads run with limited privileges, default Docker AppArmor security policies are applied to all Kubernetes Pods. Workload identity for Anthos GKE aligns with the open source kubernetes service accounts with GCP service account permissions.

+Tool and technology integration that makes up Anthos service mesh delivers signficant operational benefits to Anthos environments, with minimal additional overhead such as follows:
 
 * Uniform observability - the data plane reports service to service communication back to the control plane generating a service dependency graph. Traffic inspection by the proxy inserts headers to facilitate distributed tracing, capturing and reporting service logs together with service-level metrics (i.e latency, errors, availability).
 * Operational agility - fine-grained controls for managing the flow of inter-mesh (north-south) and intra-mesh (east-west) traffic are provided.

-To change the priority of a process, you can use the nice command in Linux. The nice command allows you to specify the priority of a process by assigning a priority value ranging from -20 to 19. A higher value of priority means lower priority for the process, and vice versa.
-
-You may want to change the priority of a process to adjust the amount of CPU time it is allocated by the system scheduler.

-When a client process on one system wants to establish a connection with a server process on another system, it first creates a socket using the socket system call. The client then calls the connect system call, passing the address of the server as an argument. This causes a three-way handshake to occur between the client and server, where the two systems exchange information to establish a connection.
-
-Once the connection is established, the client and server can exchange data using the read and write system calls. When the connection is no longer needed, the client or server can terminate the connection by calling the close system call on the socket.

-In user mode, an application can only access hardware resources indirectly, by calling system services or functions provided by the operating system. This ensures that the system's security and stability are maintained by preventing user processes from interfering with or damaging system resources.
-
-Additionally, user mode also provides memory protection to prevent applications from accessing unauthorized memory locations. This is done by assigning each process its own virtual memory space, which is isolated from other processes.

-An SLO is a target value or range of values for a service level that is measured by an SLI
-
-Example: 99% across 30 days for a specific collection of SLIs.
-
-It's also worthy to note that the SLO also serves as a lower bound, indicating that there is no requirement to be more reliable than necessary because doing so can delay the rollout of new features.

-<summary>What is an SLA (Service-Level Agreement)?</summary>
-<b>
-
-AN SLA is a formal agreement between a service provider and customers, specifying the expected service quality and consequences for not meeting it.
-
-SRE doesn't typically get involved in constructing SLAs, because SLAs are closely tied to business and product decisions

-<summary>What is an Error Budget?</summary>
-<b>
-
-An Error Budget represents the acceptable amount of downtime or errors a service can experience while still meeting its SLO.
-
-An error budget is 1 minus the SLO of the service. A 99.9% SLO service has a 0.1% error budget.
-
-If our service receives 1,000,000 requests in four weeks, a 99.9% availability SLO gives us a budget of 1,000 errors over that period.
-
-The error budget is a mechanism for balancing innovation and stability. If the SRE cannot enforce the error budget, the whole system breaks down.

-<summary>What is Toil?</summary>
-<b>
-
-Toil is the kind of work that tends to be manual, repetitive, automatable, tactical, devoid of enduring value, and that scales linearly as a service grows.
-
-If you can be automate a task, you should probably automate the task.
-
-Automation significantly reduces Toil. Investing in automation results in valuable work with lasting impact, offering scalability potential with minimal adjustments as your system expands.

-One reason is that all the workspaces are stored in one location (as in one backend) and usually you don't want to use the same access control and authentication for both staging and production for obvious reasons. Also working in workspaces is quite prone to human errors as you might accidentally think you are in one workspace, while you are working a completely different one.
