Understanding Site Reliability Engineering

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to infrastructure and operations problems. The main goals of SRE are to create scalable and highly reliable software systems. SRE teams are responsible for the availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of their services. They use a combination of software engineering and systems administration skills to design, implement, and maintain large-scale, reliable systems.
