Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Foundation

This track introduces Site Reliability Engineering, its origins, core principles, and relationship with DevOps. It explores the SRE mindset, reliability-focused culture, shared responsibility between development and operations, and the organizational practices needed to build and operate scalable, dependable services.

This track explains how organizations define and manage service reliability using SLIs, SLOs, and related service-level concepts. It covers error budgets and how they help teams balance reliability with innovation, guide release decisions, and establish measurable expectations for service performance.

This track examines operational toil, such as repetitive, manual, and low-value work that limits scalability. It explores how automation, tooling, and improved engineering practices can reduce toil, increase operational efficiency, and allow teams to spend more time on higher-value engineering and reliability improvements.

This track explores how monitoring, observability, SLIs, capacity planning, and scaling provide visibility into service health and performance. It examines the use of meaningful reliability measurements, telemetry, and security considerations to identify problems, understand system behavior, and support reliable service operation.

This track examines the role of automation and tooling in improving reliability and reducing operational risk. It covers CI/CD, automated testing, safe deployment approaches, and practices such as blue/green, canary, and gradual releases that help teams deliver changes efficiently while protecting service stability.

This track explores how SRE teams prepare for, respond to, and learn from failures. It covers alerting, incident response, resilience, anti-fragility, and blameless postmortems, emphasizing how organizations can use failures as opportunities to improve systems, processes, and future reliability.

This track examines how adopting SRE affects teams, processes, and organizational responsibilities. It covers incident management, change management, risk reduction, on-call practices, collaboration, and approaches for scaling SRE while balancing development, operational, and reliability responsibilities across the organization.
