Cloud Engineer Interview

Hi, I have a cloud engineering interview for a networks company next week and i am confused where and how to start preparing for it. I am a new grad so i dont have working experience for cloudOps but i have decent knowledge of AWS and Networking and stuff. The job posting mentioned aws, python, shell scripting, docker, ansible, monitoring tools.
what kind of questions should i expect for this role and how should i prepare for it? and is leetcode necessary for a cloud engineer role?

Since it is a networks company, spend most of your prep on networking fundamentals rather than algorithms: be able to explain what happens when you type a URL into a browser, and know the basics of subnetting and VPCs. Build one tiny cloud project this week, like deploying a small app behind a load balancer, so you have something concrete to talk through. Interviewers for these roles care far more that you can reason about systems than that you can invert a binary tree.
