How would you answer an interview scenario involving incident response in cloud in Cloud Security?

For an interview scenario involving incident response, I would first clarify the business goal, scale, constraints, and the failure or quality attribute the interviewer wants to explore. In this scenario, a workload identity is suspected of compromise. Explain your first containment and evidence-preservation actions. I would then explain the main alternatives and tradeoffs, identify likely failure modes, and describe how I would validate the solution through testing, observability, security controls, and recovery or rollback planning.
