Real interview territory, not generic definitions. The AI draws on these areas and pushes into the sub-topics where you are weakest.
These are the kinds of scenario-based questions Joshua asks. In a live session they adapt to your answers and your target role.
Two engineers run terraform apply at the same time. What goes wrong, and how does state locking prevent it?
Someone changed a resource in the console. Walk me through detecting and reconciling that drift.
How do you structure modules and state for an org with 30 microservices across 3 environments?
When is terraform taint appropriate, and what is the modern replacement?
Compare Terragrunt and plain Terraform workspaces for environment separation.
The concepts (state, modules, drift, locking) apply directly to both. The AI focuses on reasoning, not vendor trivia.
Yes. Expect state corruption, drift, and concurrent-apply scenarios rather than syntax questions.
A standard session is 12 questions across four phases; an extended simulation is 20. You can also run a quick 5-question warmup.
