I just landed my first role as an SRE. I was a professional Chef back in 2021 and decided to chase what I wanted to do in life. I immersed myself in the world. Got two AWS certs, took comp sci classes at college, learned Linux, python, html/css, JS, bash scripting, cloud IaC technologies, Jenkins and other cicd tools.... Everything I could get my hands on. To me, I love the idea that the stack is one giant living and breathing monster that you can access and tame and just seeing it all work together is awe inspiring to me. I am so excited about my new position, it encompasses my love for problem solving, infrastructure and automation. Really looking forward to it, but also very nervous because I know I still have a lot of learning to do!!

As a Chef you'd had attained great success once you know how upgrade of systems would demotivate you in problem solving 😂

Congrats man, which AWS certs did you do?

I have over 25 years working on IT Infrastructure and Development Teams and I can assure this is the best SRE definition by far!! Pretty well explained in less than 10 minutes 👏👏

I will start a new job as SRE tomorrow. Somehow YT knows about it and recommended me this video. Nice explanation!

Nice Overview of SRE functionality and its importance.

Great high-level overview. My advice to small to medium-sized organizations is to never wave the magic wand and turn your ops folks into SRE without diving in to understand the role.

Crystal clear explaination along with examples. You guys are the best!

What a wonderfully simple explanation! Thanks.

This is a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to make this. Cheers.

By far the best explanation I've seen so far! I think you're on to the key distinguishing feature IMO: How dedicated SRE staff enables enough mental bandwidth to be pro-active ... and that of course through continuously improved automation, monitoring, testing, measuring etc ... and as you're on to, leading to having this team with a deep systems understanding, a mental understanding of the system, enabling them to really be on top of the situation at all times, supported by all the tooling they developed.

The best explanation and ever seen, thanks for presenting

Actually your video was really helpful for me because I was confused about the professional profile I was creating with myself so I started to search and I found out that the name is a SRE. Thank you so much.

very helpful to understand what's SRE and how to be a good SRE.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Totally appreciate it.

Awesome explanation! 👍

Very helpful and great overview. Thank you

Best SRE explanation resource on the entire internet.. u did a great job..

Excellent presentation!

IT admins or system admins, system programmers, automation engineer, system monitoring and operations, development and testing experience

Would you guys say I focus on being a DevOps engineer or SRE at the peak of my career, I'm currently playing around with web development.

Why don’t you get a Security + cert then go into cybersecurity

Thankyou sir!!!

SRE = Ops support + App Support(which were referred as IT support earlier) + more monitoring tools + automation. Instead of fixing the issue anticipate the failure earlier with those tools. Whatever Infra provisioned by Ops and App developed by Dev hand over to SRE for 24/7 monitoring and RCA.

Hi Diana! That's a great question. 🙂 A site reliability engineer is a software developer with IT operations experience - someone who knows how to code, and who also understands how to work in a large-scale IT environment. So, to start, you'd need a general Computer Science degree or certificate. Then, some knowledge of IT Infrastructure, software development, DevOps, automation, maintenance, system administration etc. There are also specific courses for the SRE job role, offered by different organizations.

as a new joinee from a non-IT background is sre a good choice.

Automate? As in, utilize ML?

We call these Application Support Analyst

A little compromise on efficiency in enterprises can keep many family kitchens warm...

How the small and medium company in ASEAN will adopt this kind of new IT operation model. We have shortage of IT staff and skill

The old dev/ops was bad because of poor communication and ownership, not the structure itself. It just looks like the boundaries where those issues show up have been changed. Perhaps not how it was intended, but how it lands up in most cases. I may be a little jaded though.

SRE defines the rules, governance, compliance for AIOps platforms to function without human touch (and without bugs).

It’s just a fancy name of IT support. As if you tell the boss, you are IT support, you might get lower salary, but if you tell your boss you are an SRE engineer, probably you will get much more. But what you do everyday is just the same.
