MLOps interview: questions and cases
MLOps interview questions: ML CI/CD pipelines, feature stores, monitoring, rollback. Mid/senior prep for 2026.
MLOps interviews test production skills — not just training models. Recurring themes below.
Pipeline & deployment
Walk through training → staging → prod. Model and data versioning (DVC, MLflow). Rollback strategy. Canary or shadow deployments for models.
Infra & cost
Kubernetes vs serverless inference. GPU autoscaling. Batch vs online cost optimization. IaC (Terraform) to reproduce environments.
Common case study
“Production metrics degraded — what do you do in 24 hours?” Log collection, distribution checks, rollback, post-mortem, regression tests.
