Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

This Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) training course is designed to demonstrate a discipline where the main goals are to create ultra-scalable and highly-reliable software systems. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to infrastructure and operations problems.

SRE was created and implemented at Google in the early 2000s to make their sites run more smoothly, efficiently, and reliably. This course begins by describing SRE and explains how it incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to infrastructure and operations problems.
