Possibly a technical assessment test where they test core programming/infrastructure concepts and DevOps principles.

Their tests in my experience are a bit weird. Even for SWE roles, the take home assignment is not technical, but it's to write a 10 page essay about some project you did and cover all the points they listed (what, why, problems you faced, deadlines, whatever). If you don't cover all the required points, it pretty much disqualifies you.

So they seem to prefer good tech writers and don't care that much about demonstrating your tech skills.
