Why not just start with the questions you consider the minimum level to clear?

Because my goal isn't usually to get trivia answers. I'm laying foundation and jumping off points for a conversation.

I have some technical hurdles candidates have to clear, but I try to speed run past them and get the background stories on things that stick out to me in their resume. Also, hitting them with the DevOps equivalent of a LC hard right out the gate is a dick move that sets a bad tone and demonstrates a hostile process.
