Site Reliability Engineering Practitioner
Site Reliability Engineering from a practical implementation perspective
Organizations 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.
In support of safe management in light of COVID19, classes may be run virtually.
Introduction
Course duration: 3 days, 9am – 5pm
Introduces a range of practices for improving service reliability through a mixture of automation, organizational 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 organization. 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 organization 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 organizational 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 organizations 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
This course may be eligible for PMI’s PDUs.
