Double, Double, Toil and Trouble! Top SRE Practices for DevOps

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) originated at Google as a discipline and set of practices to operationalize and scale its services. SRE’s values, skills, and approaches do not reflect the typical SysAdmin role, so making the shift to SRE is a challenge and transformation in and of itself.  

Having built an SRE organization from the ground up, John Esser will outline:

  • How to morph an existing operations group into an SRE discipline
  • Typical challenges you’ll encounter 
  • The top SRE practices (e.g. eliminate toil) teams can and should adopt to scale their services 
  • The mindset needed to effectively work with developers in the organization 

Site Reliability Engineering is NOT operations per usual!
