Most DevOps guides give you textbook definitions. Interviewers don't ask for definitions. They ask "the state is locked, what do you do?" or "users see intermittent 502s after a deploy, walk me through it."
This guide is built around those questions.

- Terraform (24): state, drift, import vs taint, moved blocks, lifecycle, CI/CD
- Kubernetes & AKS (25): CrashLoopBackOff, Pending pods, CNI Overlay, upgrades, RBAC
- Docker (18): multi-stage builds, caching, BuildKit secrets, PID 1
