    Software development is constantly becoming faster and more complex which can be difficult for IT operations teams to keep up with. Luckily DevOps emerged to help teams follow a set of practices where they can better collaborate together and shorten their development lifecycle while providing continuous delivery.
    However, with all the improvements DevOps has provided organizations, they still did not have a dedicated person to focus on developing software systems that help improve their site reliability and performance.
    In this lightboard video, Bradley Knapp with IBM Cloud, breaks down how a Site Reliability Engineer, or SRE, is taking on this needed role for organizations to help them better manage systems, solve problems, and automate operations tasks.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
