1. You are tasked with designing a concurrent system in Go where multiple goroutines need to access and modify shared data. However, you need to ensure that the system is deadlock-free. Describe a scenario where deadlock might occur and how you would prevent it using Go’s concurrency primitives. 2. What is Go Routine and how it works internally in detail? 3. How Concurrency is diff from parallelism? 4. Explain how Polymorphism can be achieved 5. Create two goroutines that play a "ping-pong" game by sending messages to each other through channels. One goroutine sends "ping," and the other responds with "pong." Limit the number of exchanges between the goroutines to 10, then gracefully exit. Aws Cloud 1.Question: You are tasked with designing an architecture for a web application that needs to handle millions of users globally. The application must be highly available, scalable, and resilient to failures. Describe the architecture you would implement on AWS and the services you would use to achieve these requirements. 2.Your company has a complex on-premises application with a monolithic architecture, relational database, and dependency on a legacy system. The application needs to b be migrated to AWS with minimal downtime. How would you plan and execute this migration? What AWS services would you utilize? 3.You are developing a multi-tenant SaaS application on AWS that will be used by multiple customers, each with its own data. How would you design the architecture to ensure data isolation, security, and compliance with regulations like GDPR? Which AWS services and best practices would you use?

They are stupid because the questions are exaclty the same. Even they don't change their online test. So, basically you can easily cheat. I adivse people, DO NOT apply with your real identitiy first. You can get a warm up round. Then, apply with your real resume, etc.
