Aws Solution Architect Interview Questions

82 aws solution architect interview questions shared by candidates

I didn't feel much difficulty in answering their questions. Probably this is my first company where i have answered all questions with confidence in which i didn't select. It is a big surprise and unfortunately they won't reveal the reasons for not shortlisting... Questions are similar what have posted in this website. Just look at the AWS case studies. Their questions covers 40% of their case studies. You don't need AWS knowledge. But you need to answer how cloud works and best practices in deploying web applications for higher scalability, performance and network latency point of view. If you didn't worked on AWS then tell them upfront your strengths. They didn't ask me any AWS products as i didn't work on it. But they have asked me all cloud questions in which i worked for(VMWare/Azure/Rackspace/etc).

The first 10 minutes were in general. Give me an overview of your experience, your team management experience, customer interfacing, public speaking skills etc. I had plenty of these in my power packed resume so I excelled in all these areas. The next thirty minutes of the interview was on - wait for this - network engineering. There were plenty of questions on network troubleshooting, protocols etc. Fews minutes into the interview, I actually thought this could be a mistaken identity, I told the interviewer that I am a database specialist and not a network engineer. She said that's alright and I dont need to know everything and she continued with her questions that are completely unrelated to my expertise. Then the final 15 minutes were focused on database. Even on that topic, the questions were around network & cloud. Here are couple of samples 1) How do you troubleshoot if you are not able to connect to a database 2) If you anticipate sudden surge in traffic to your database, what are the steps that you would take?
