What is Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)?

[@steveyuhas9278]

I just landed my first role as an SRE. I was a professional Chef back in 2021 and decided to chase what I wanted to do in life. I immersed myself in the world. Got two AWS certs, took comp sci classes at college, learned Linux, python, html/css, JS, bash scripting, cloud IaC technologies, Jenkins and other cicd tools.... Everything I could get my hands on. To me, I love the idea that the stack is one giant living and breathing monster that you can access and tame and just seeing it all work together is awe inspiring to me. I am so excited about my new position, it encompasses my love for problem solving, infrastructure and automation. Really looking forward to it, but also very nervous because I know I still have a lot of learning to do!!

[@ysb2026]

As a Chef you'd had attained great success once you know how upgrade of systems would demotivate you in problem solving 😂

[@TheDarkMatrix]

Congrats man, which AWS certs did you do?

[@hariramsilwal9067]

I m chef too can you give me some success tips and where I can find the entry level position?

[@Gru-jd2cp]

How your experience at SRE engineer?

[@EligioMerino]

I have over 25 years working on IT Infrastructure and Development Teams and I can assure this is the best SRE definition by far!! Pretty well explained in less than 10 minutes 👏👏

[@randomthoughtstech]

Great high-level overview. My advice to small to medium-sized organizations is to never wave the magic wand and turn your ops folks into SRE without diving in to understand the role.

[@smllmp]

By far the best explanation I've seen so far! I think you're on to the key distinguishing feature IMO: How dedicated SRE staff enables enough mental bandwidth to be pro-active ... and that of course through continuously improved automation, monitoring, testing, measuring etc ... and as you're on to, leading to having this team with a deep systems understanding, a mental understanding of the system, enabling them to really be on top of the situation at all times, supported by all the tooling they developed.

[@davismar98]

I will start a new job as SRE tomorrow. Somehow YT knows about it and recommended me this video. Nice explanation!

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Any suggestions on how and where to go for training?

[@theanantshukla]

Crystal clear explaination along with examples. You guys are the best!

[@yawar2082]

100% right. Loving my SRE role 😊

[@matiullahamin7577]

How long will take become an SRE and what programs required for SRE

[@jorgeluisgutierrez2977]

Actually your video was really helpful for me because I was confused about the professional profile I was creating with myself so I started to search and I found out that the name is a SRE. Thank you so much.

[@codingpointers]

Just made the transition from a SWE to SRE and found this very helpful

[@mrwho.7163]

i am a SEW, how to switch to SRE ? if i switch , would I be starting again as a beginer with lower pay ?

[@codingpointers]

@@mrwho.7163 probably just depends on your company policy. I transitioned laterally so my title didn’t change. So no pay bump

[@sneezygibz6403]

@@codingpointers is SRE more difficult than SWE? I saw on blind some people saying SRE is basically the same as SWE but they consider this SWE on roids.

[@sunking4120]

very helpful to understand what's SRE and how to be a good SRE.

[@gigglesaregood]

This is a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to make this. Cheers.

[@randomthought6681]

Excellent overview!

[@ashokk3399]

The best explanation and ever seen, thanks for presenting

[@vikrantsarin7455]

What a wonderfully simple explanation! Thanks.

[@severtone263]

Very helpful and great overview. Thank you

[@akashc3416]

Best SRE explanation resource on the entire internet.. u did a great job..

[@aussietramp]

i have a 12 years experience as a Network Engineer...What would you suggest to study for a transition to SRE?

[@cutflow2]

So in your opinion what 2-4 positions would come before SRE for a newbie who would want to get involved in such role

[@1337_vp]

IT admins or system admins, system programmers, automation engineer, system monitoring and operations, development and testing experience

[@jc9101]

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Totally appreciate it.

[@sowjisnb4u]

Awesome explanation! 👍

[@1ndianRepublican]

Thanks for the brief

[@kannannair2556]

Clear explanation.... thanks

[@Anbu_Sampath]

SRE = Ops support + App Support(which were referred as IT support earlier) + more monitoring tools + automation. Instead of fixing the issue anticipate the failure earlier with those tools. Whatever Infra provisioned by Ops and App developed by Dev hand over to SRE for 24/7 monitoring and RCA.

[@yafoor4660]

Thank you. I always wonder Why they invented this new word for simple terms ?

[@JBMotorrad]

Excellent presentation!

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

I started out doing Desktop Tech for few years. Now have been working as a network admin for over 4 years but heading in a hole of burnout. Looking for a change or step up, Is SRE really the way to go?

[@Detroit2DC]

yep, if you like to challenge yourself. get into deployment automation/devops to get your feet wet

[@learningearning8385]

Why don’t you get a Security + cert then go into cybersecurity

[@nitinarora20]

Superb overview

[@810karan]

I am currently given a new role of SRE along with leading a team of support engineers and myself finding RCA and working on Severity 1 and 2 Incidents. How can I make sure I exceed the expectations

[@happi2dad]

Thanks for the video ! BTW what may be suggestion to docu or archive SRE knowledge?

[@knowfetch]

Thanks for this !!

[@fly-outmag1243]

What does it take to become a SRE?

[@M911]

Please, can you provide roadmap for SRE

[@BrunoMarinhoSantos]

Excelent. Thank you!

[@umeshsastry4028]

well explained and succinct

[@dianadit90]

What topics do I need to be able to start in SRE job?

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi Diana! That's a great question. 🙂 A site reliability engineer is a software developer with IT operations experience - someone who knows how to code, and who also understands how to work in a large-scale IT environment. So, to start, you'd need a general Computer Science degree or certificate. Then, some knowledge of IT Infrastructure, software development, DevOps, automation, maintenance, system administration etc. There are also specific courses for the SRE job role, offered by different organizations.

[@dianadit90]

@@IBMTechnology Thank you so much 😄

[@joel9909]

Would you guys say I focus on being a DevOps engineer or SRE at the peak of my career, I'm currently playing around with web development.

[@xamashee]

A little compromise on efficiency in enterprises can keep many family kitchens warm...

[@applicationresourcemanagem1000]

Succinct definition 👍🏽

[@5_Minute.Lectures]

Thankyou sir!!!

[@ripplecutter233]

DevOps is a meaningful term

[@Michael___693q]

Oh dear, it appears a system error caused the transaction to stray to an invalid email!

[@wyldfury]

The old dev/ops was bad because of poor communication and ownership, not the structure itself. It just looks like the boundaries where those issues show up have been changed. Perhaps not how it was intended, but how it lands up in most cases. I may be a little jaded though.

[@abhishekpoojary8406]

as a new joinee from a non-IT background is sre a good choice.

[@tech6474]

We call these Application Support Analyst

[@sedenions]

Automate? As in, utilize ML?

[@till2038]

2:20 - oh yes, in my case it did.

[@petchpaitoon]

How the small and medium company in ASEAN will adopt this kind of new IT operation model. We have shortage of IT staff and skill

[@faulkbl]

Such a weird statement "Automate yourself out of a job". high risk to job cuts.

[@petchpaitoon]

AIOps has over claim to help client running system without human touch. How AIOps and SRE work together ?

[@applicationresourcemanagem1000]

SRE defines the rules, governance, compliance for AIOps platforms to function without human touch (and without bugs).

[@karthickeayan]

lol 😂😂😂

[@righttang]

It’s just a fancy name of IT support. As if you tell the boss, you are IT support, you might get lower salary, but if you tell your boss you are an SRE engineer, probably you will get much more. But what you do everyday is just the same.

[@BenMorganx]

I'm sorry this is happening to you, but true SRE is really very different from traditional IT Support

[@ClariNerd]

Last I checked SRE doesn’t involve at least six tickets each day that boil down to a senior software engineer asking how to open the start menu.

[@Rickety3263]

IT support isn’t troubleshooting build yamls inside the ci/cd or committing code to the terraform repo

[@SSchithFoo]

Nope. Lol
