Tell me about a workload you deployed or migrated to Azure. What was your role?
Note: Cloud interviews reward specifics about cost, security, and failure. Anyone can say they "deployed to Azure"; describing what it cost and how it recovered is what shows ownership.
Cover:
- What the workload was and where it came from. A lift-and-shift from on-premises virtual machines is a very different exercise from a greenfield deployment to App Service or AKS. Say which.
- The services you chose and why. Not a list — a justification. "We used App Service rather than AKS because we had three services and no Kubernetes experience on the team" is a real answer.
- The hard part. Strong candidates: networking and hybrid connectivity, an identity or RBAC model that grew complex, a database migration with minimal downtime, or a cost overrun you had to bring under control.
- The outcome — cost, availability, or deployment frequency before and after.
