Interview Prompt
Each row of `k8s_pods` is a CPU sample of a pod in its namespace, and a pod whose status is 'Completed' has finished and does not count. For each namespace, produce a single row naming its heaviest-CPU pod and its runner-up in separate columns.
Summary
The two most CPU-hungry pods in each namespace.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your SQL against a real database
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
