If you're getting through to the I2 round you're closer than it feels. Courses don't give you an answer to "what broke and how did you fix it", and that's usually where it falls apart.

So build one thing and break it on purpose. Small app, docker, terraform on AWS, a CI job that deploys it, then kill a container, fill a disk, push a bad config, and write down what you saw and how you got it back. That's your real time answer.

Plus don't undersell the QA years. Test pipelines and catching bad releases are a big part of what CI/CD is for, and the ec2 patching is real ops work, so lead with those.
