Site Reliability Engineering Practitioner

Site Reliability Engineering from a practical implementation perspective

Organisations nowadays are dealing with a higher volume of change in a more complicated technological environment, which increases the risk of outages and incidents. Service dependability and system resiliency must be improved by IT personnel.

The SRE profile has become one of the fastest-growing corporate roles and set of operational techniques for managing services at scale, with automation and observability becoming critical considerations for more effective and faster deployments.

Introduction

Site Reliability Engineering Practitioner

Course ID: TGS-2024050785

Course duration: 3 days, 9am – 6pm

Introduces a range of practices for improving service reliability through a mixture of automation, organisational ways of working and business alignment. Tailored for those focused on large-scale service availability.

The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Practitioner course introduces ways to economically and reliably scale services in an organisation. It explores strategies to improve agility, cross-functional collaboration, and transparency of health of services towards building resiliency by design, automation and closed loop remediations.

The course aims to equip participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organisation involved in reliability 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 implementing SRE models that fit their organisational context, building advanced observability in distributed systems, building resiliency by design and effective incident responses using SRE practices.

The course is 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 Practitioner certification exam.
