DevOps / Cloud Engineer Assessment
Automate CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and container workloads
The DevOps / Cloud Engineer assessment covers 6 domains - from CI/CD pipeline design and infrastructure as code to container orchestration and release strategy. Choose your platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP.
What does a DevOps / Cloud Engineer do?
DevOps and Cloud Engineers are the builders who keep software moving from code to production safely and quickly. They design CI/CD pipelines, manage infrastructure as code, run container platforms, and instrument the observability stacks that catch issues before users do.
The line between "DevOps Engineer" and "Cloud Engineer" has blurred significantly. Both roles require deep knowledge of pipeline tooling, container orchestration with Kubernetes, and the ability to close the gap between development speed and operational stability.
What Kloud Safari tests for DevOps / Cloud Engineer
The assessment covers 6 domains across scenario-based questions designed around real trade-off decisions.
CI/CD Pipelines
GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Cloud Build, and native pipeline services across providers. Deployment strategies: blue/green, canary, rolling. Pipeline security controls and approvals.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform modules and state management, Pulumi, CDK, Bicep, and Deployment Manager. Drift detection, IaC testing strategies, and managing multi-environment configs.
Containers & Orchestration
Docker image optimisation, managed Kubernetes (EKS / AKS / GKE), Helm chart deployment, container registries, and multi-tenant cluster design patterns.
Monitoring & Observability
Metrics, log aggregation, distributed tracing, alerting, and reducing alert fatigue across CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Cloud Monitoring, and open-source stacks.
Security in DevOps
Secrets management, IAM roles for services, SAST/DAST in pipelines, supply chain security, and managing environment credentials safely across cloud providers.
Release Strategy
Feature flags, rollback automation, environment promotion gates, GitOps workflows with ArgoCD or Flux, and measuring mean time to recovery (MTTR).
Key skills covered
Which level will you be placed at?

Junior
Can build basic solutions independently within defined patterns.
Mid-Level
Designs multi-service, multi-AZ systems. Navigates trade-offs confidently.
Senior
Architects at org scale. Sets standards. Mentors other engineers.

Assessment FAQ
Is the assessment free?
Yes - completely free. You get your score, gaps, strengths, and a personalised roadmap immediately after completing it.
Which cloud does the DevOps assessment cover?
You choose - AWS, Azure, or GCP. The questions adapt to your selected platform while testing the same core CI/CD, IaC, and containers domains.
How many questions does the DevOps assessment have?
Between 12 and 18 scenario-based questions. The exact number depends on your answers and which domains need deeper probing.
Does the assessment cover Kubernetes?
Yes. The containers domain covers managed Kubernetes across providers - including concepts like operators, Helm, and RBAC - not just cloud console knowledge.
What level should I be targeting for remote DevOps roles?
Most remote DevOps roles advertised globally require Mid-Level (Intermediate) or above. Our roadmap will show you the fastest path from your current assessed level to there.
