I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Apr 2020
Interview
Telephonic interview of about 1 hour, mostly involving scenario based questions mainly on operating systems, docker, kubernetes, scripting and linux. It was a little difficult and needs a lot of preparation to clear since they ask you twisted questions.
Interview questions [8]
Question 1
What is the difference between windows and linux OS? How are Bash and powershell different
What happens in the backend when you type google.com in your browser? The connection established is through TCP, then why do we get an http response? What is the difference between TCP and HTTP?
What is a docker container? How will your OS differentiate between a containerized application and an on-prem application? Do you need a docker engine to create a container?
Write a shell script to read each line of a text file that has names of people and print with a Hello in front. Example 'Hello John'.
In Linux, how will you look for all files in a folder starting with 'a'
How to check the available disk space in Linux? The fdisk command shows that I have 90% space available but still I'm unable to create a file, even though I have the required permission. What could be the issue?
