The SRE Foundation (Site Reliability Engineering) course is an introduction to the principles and 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 and automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms.

Delivery format: Classroom, Virtual-Led & Self-Paced Online
Certification: Site Reliability Engineering Foundation

The SRE Foundation course introduces a range of practices for improving service reliability through a mixture of automation, working methods and organizational re-alignment. Tailored for those focused on large-scale service availability. Site Reliability Engineering is a term that is quickly growing to prominence, mainly because it is the main operating model for IT Service Management at Google. From around 2016 onwards, Google started with the creation of SRE teams to manage production systems.

The SRE Foundation (Site Reliability Engineering) course is an introduction to the principles and 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 and automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms.

The course highlights the evolution of Site Reliability Engineering 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. Site Reliability Engineering embraces most of the fundamental concepts – such as automation, collaboration and quality – of DevOps, but augments it with some more measurable targets, which are especially relevant in an enterprise context

This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.

    The course helped to cement the understanding of SRE and have an overview that would help to begin the journey for us within Technology integration team.

    I like the most about the thought process of how to incorporate SRE with DevOps and Agile practice.

    John is a great instructor. He is trying to give real life examples based on his personal professional experiences. Encourage interactive engagements among the participants like mural boards, breakout sessions to further discuss on how the concepts can be applied to our work/ team/ org.

    It was practical and both trainers (Jan & Lavanya) had a very good understanding of concepts. If I could change one thing about this course, it would be adding more practical examples from different case studies.

    Trainer Lavanya is very well read and her experience talks a lot.

    Duration is nicely spaced. Maybe provide some practical use cases from other large organisations implementing SRE.

    What I like most about this course is the trainer’s experience and her ability to relate these topics to real-life experiences/cases. Thus, how the content and the way the syllabus was arranged such as case studies and videos – it’s inter-related. I suggest adding more samples on how SLO is defined.

    Short and concise! It would be better if we can have it physically. Thank you to the trainer! :)

    I like the course material provided such as graphical charts of how systems relate to each other. Trainer can provide more case studies with students attempting to solve the problem first before being told what eventually happened in the end. Thus, splitting the course into four 1-hour courses instead of two 2-hour courses would improve attention span.
