DevOps vs. SRE: What's the difference?

[@townegr]

Bradley, your cadence, clarity, and overall educational methodology is on point! Thanks for these videos.

[@misn757]

This was so informative and easy to understand!!!! I've been in the industry for a long time and never had things explained in such a way I understood until now.

[@earthling_parth]

This seems very wrong. What IBM is saying is the DevOps is just "Development" and SRE is "Operations" . They handoff the solutions/features to the SRE team and then they deploy them and monitor the solutions. This video is just creating the same silos but giving the teams fancier names. Isn't this completely wrong?

[@arieheinrich3457]

Not only is it wrong, is counter intuitive to break silo. What people sometimes miss is that 99% of the companies are NOT unicorns, they dont run multi-million dollars datacenters all over the globe. But those unicorns companies that do, they need to look cool and shiney and attract the best skilled employees for years to come to take care of those datacenters. So what do they do ? They invent new TLD's, wrote books, essays, conventions. create a hype. When basically its the same old gig of Operations people just slightly smarter as we are dealing with the cloud after all. But hey, its a new title, new budgets. Why would they care that in 99% of the companes this creates a secondary IT organization or a shadow IT ? Those in ops that have not been able to catcup, will eventually be out of the job market. Those that haven't adjusted fast enough will always stay behind when new technology is introduced. Been like these from the dawn of mankind. Not to mention it creates an eco system of companies selling services,, training, tools. Its like a prophecy that fulfils itself.

I agree that this is very wrong. Why is he talking about DevOps as if it were development? Makes no sense to me and I've been in software for 15 years. Dev is dev. This is the team that architects your application and writes your software. DevOps is the team that focuses on the deployment process, optimizing developer workflow, configuring dev environments to ensure new devs can be onboarded easily with their own workspaces, etc. SRE contributes to the design of the system (as opposed to the software itself) for performance and scalability, makes sure your site/application doesn't go down, monitors traffic and activity, ensures redundancy and reliability, etc. At least that's how I see it.

[@exaucae]

@@bmfitzgerald3 , I second that.

[@jcald111]

@@bmfitzgerald3 Agreed, except that in teams without dedicated SRE, DevOps would handle those SRE tasks.

[@iammrchetan]

@@bmfitzgerald3 I felt the same watching the video.

[@ayencoscolfield3312]

Awesome ! very new and just coming into SRE from a devops role and this is one of the best explanation have gotten so far on the subject clears completely a lot of doubts, Thank you so much

[@raghavnauhria5631]

Another well-crafted video by this channel! From overviews on KZbin to deep-dive tuts on your blog, hats-off to the IBM Cloud for their continuous contribution to this ecosystem 😃

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you! 🙏 We're glad you're enjoying our content. 🙂

[@JorgeBravoPratscher]

wow, I really enjoy the energy and clarity of Bradley. Does he have a podcast or YT channel? Great explanatory video

[@severtone263]

Great overview. Thank you

[@guhkunpatata3150]

Awesome. Thanks so much for your great explanation, that helps a lot !

[@snehotoshbanerjee1938]

Great video!! Honestly, there is no difference. Its just another fancy words in IT. These umbrella or jargons create more issues and confusion than solution specially in JD and finding people. Simple on-ground work description in simple english always help in finding correct and required people.🙂

How's the reverse image written is properly displayed in the glass board?

[@leandrosolagna]

I have watched some videos about the differences, but I must say this is the best one. Thank you.

[@somethingnew3338]

you are the best of the videos from this channel. thanks for accurate explications

[@rickharold7884]

Nice summary.

[@Sureshdkannan1]

Developers are transformed to devops with Cicd pipeline using git jenkins etc Ops are transferred to Sre ..that focuses on implementing this pipeline and monitoring the deployment with key performance indicator that are called SLI and SLO

[@BharatBhramanOfficial]

Content is good ... WELL-CRAFTED video.

[@TuxTechLabs]

DevOps Is a Abstract Class. SRE is an human object who implements DevOps. DevOps is a culture not a designated position, which helps to break silos inbetween teams. The SREs can also be DevOps And vice versa..

[@mrwho.7163]

is devops harder than SRE or visesersa ?

[@balo7919]

100%

[@mateuszczmer6802]

IBM is hiring mostly left-handed people :P Some say they are smarter :) good video btw

[@filiper3726]

Actually they are right-handed and the video seems to be mirrored for us to see the writing correctly.

[@gormhatre]

Basically, Devops is the Dev and SRE are sysadmins.

[@bnbexpede13]

He can do mirror writing? 😯

[@tech6474]

No, they use a clever gadget called a light board and the image is flipped (he isn't left handed)

[@priyansh1210]

Am I the only one who thought the video was animated?

[@jteerapol]

I think your DevOps in your idea = developer , but you seems mixed up between Operation?

[@rmat007]

Core development is theoretical ?!?!?

[@CreachterZ]

You didn’t get into Ops.
