Introduction
Site Reliability Engineering Foundation Preparatory Course (SREF)
IBF Funding Course ID: TGS-2022601490
Course duration: 3 days, 9am – 5pm
Introduces a range of practices for improving service reliability through a mixture of automation, working methods and organisational realignment. Tailored for those focused on large-scale service availability.
The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Foundation℠ course is an introduction to the principles & practices that enable an organisation to reliably and economically scale critical services. Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organisational re-alignment, a new focus on engineering & automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms.
The course highlights the evolution of SRE and its future direction, and equips participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organisation involved in reliability and stability evidenced through the use of real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in the office such as understanding, setting and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLO’s).
The course was developed by leveraging key SRE sources, engaging with thought-leaders in the SRE space and working with organisations embracing SRE to extract real-life best practices and has been designed to teach the key principles & practices necessary for starting SRE adoption.
This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.
