DevOps Interview DropIntermediate TierScenario+25 XP on read
Your CI pipeline runs twice for every pull request. How do you investigate?
Core Summary
Almost always two triggers firing on one action, usually push and pull_request both matching the same branch. Read the event that started each run, then make the trigger config deliberate instead of deleting jobs until the noise stops.
Hints
Hint 1: Look at what event started each run, not at the jobs
Hint 2: A PR from a branch in the same repo fires push and pull_request
Hint 3: The wasted spend is the real cost
