 HCL Vendor Round

Q) Tell me the AWS ec2 instance types?

Q) How do you do the AWS S3 storage partition? What is the criteria you go for
partitioning? Is it by Region? I have two regions USEast and USWest? How do you
move/transfer the data between them?
Q) What is SSH? What are the scenraios, you used SSH?
Q) SSH is slow to connect? What might be the issue?
0. Add -vvv to make ssh print a detailed trace of what it's doing, and see
where it's pausing
1. it might be the GSSAPIAuthentication problem.
2. Reverse DNS
The problem could be on the client or on the server.

A common problem on the server is if you're connecting from a client for which
reverse DNS lookups time out. (A “reverse DNS lookup” means getting back from the
client machine's IP address to a host name. It isn't really useful for security, only
slightly helpful to diagnose breakin attempts from log entries, but the default
configuration does it anyway.) To turn off reverse DNS lookups, add UseDNS no to
/etc/ssh/sshd_config (you need to be root on the server; remember to restart the
SSH service afterwards).

Another thing that can go wrong is GSSAPI authentication timing out. If you don't
know what that is, you're probably not relying on it; you can turn it off by adding the
line GSSAPIAuthentication no to /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config (that's on the
client side).

Q) How do you fix / what do you do for Low disk space errors?You get low disk
warning, what to do?
Q) How do you create a daemon in unix using shell script?
Q) How do you troubleshoot a issue in production? How do you fix it?

 Wipro:

Interview Experience:
First Round happened for around one hour. In that Interviewer
covered Jenkins, Maven, Git, Chef, EC2. Mostly he covered internals of Jenkins and
Chef.
Jenkins
• Can you tell the process how to configure Build?
• In one job I need to build 10 applications within same server. How can you
do it?
• How can you achieve email notification with attachment in Jenkins?
• Two Jobs Job A and Job B are there. Based on Job A can you configure Job B. If
parameters are present in Job B but not in Job A. How can you define parameters if
you are configuring Job B based on Job A.
• How can you take Backup of Jobs?
• Poll SCM scenario questions
• He interlinked Jenkins with Chef and asked some questions.
• He asked nearly 20 to 30 questions. Out of these questions most of them are
scenario based questions a d some are basic questions.
Chef
• Why we use Chef?
• What is difference between Cookbook and recipes?
• How to provide security to chef Hosted Server?
• How to check cookbook versions? If you tell we can see it in hosted server
and Node Client.rb file. He is asking other than this how to check cook book version
he asked?
• How to check certificates in chef like we do in puppet?
• We had to install an application in 100 nodes. If application fails to install in
2nd node, what happens to other nodes?
• How to download dependencies of other cookbooks? What is testkitchen?
• Some scenario based questions
Git
• What is Git Stash?
• How to get back changes after Git Stash?
• Branching strategy Scenario based questions
• Git Stages and flow
• Difference between Git clone and Git Pull
Finally he asked me any questions. So, I asked what kind of technologies and work
will be in your company?
He told he needs experienced people. (He given irrelevant answer ).
