Description

The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Foundation℠ course is an introduction
to the principles & practices that enable an organization to reliably and
economically scale critical services. Introducing a site-reliability dimension
requires organizational 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 organization 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 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 Foundation
certification exam.
