Not only coders are hard to recruit

1. How exactly are the sysadmins graded? (because in the end, let's be real...this tool will most probably be used by HR folks to filter out candidates and they'd not care too much if you send over a screencast/replay of what the candidate did)

1.1) Sys admins generally have their own set of tools (which would be customized per company I guess)...would these be installed by default? (I'm assuming you are provisioning docker containers / candidate / test and then destroying them after use).

1.2) I've used the ones that are sent for developers and it's been a pretty terrible experience at best (it's buggy, won't accept valid code etc.). If this is the case for sysadmins, it's even more worse (but then again, I guess you can put a spin on it and claim it's for the best as they'd have to deal with unpredictiability).

2. How will different technologies be integrated to test candidates on? (for example, testing knowledge on multi node kubernetes cluster and so on).

1. I'm thinking the best grading sistem would be yes / no ? rigth ? If you manage to solve the problem and tests pass you pass. 1.1 If you get root access on a machine you have the freedom to add whatever tools you feel fine. 1.2 I don't think doing a terminal emulation is the way to go. 2. Advanced tests are on our plans but we haven't got everything figured out yet.
