Operating Systems for MAANG Interviews

A book-shaped table of contents for operating systems at MAANG interview depth: foundations through processes, threads, concurrency, CPU scheduling, memory management, file systems, I/O, security & isolation, Linux internals, cloud/Kubernetes/observability, advanced kernel topics, and interview preparation — cross-linking existing sre/linux-networking, kubernetes-security, and patterns/concurrency notes instead of duplicating them.

2 — Computer Architecture Essentials

Covers CPU architecture, registers, the memory hierarchy, caches, interrupts, DMA, timers, device controllers, and NUMA basics — the hardware substrate an OS manages.

3 — OS Interfaces

Covers ABI vs. API, POSIX, the shell, the CLI, libraries, executables, the ELF format, and dynamic linking.

3 — Synchronization Primitives

Covers mutexes, spinlocks, read-write locks, semaphores, condition variables, barriers, and futexes.
