FAQs
Site Reliability Engineering covers topics including service measurement, observability, automation, incident response and reducing operational toil. Find answers to common questions about SRE and the ILX courses available.
What is Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)?
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a way of applying software engineering techniques to the operation of services and systems. It uses practices including measurement, automation and observability to help teams manage reliability at scale and reduce unnecessary operational work.
Why should I study Site Reliability Engineering?
Studying SRE can give you practical knowledge of how teams measure service health, manage operational workload and respond when things go wrong. These skills are relevant to professionals working in areas including DevOps, IT operations, software engineering and technology management.
Should I take SRE Foundation before SRE Practitioner?
You should have achieved the SRE Foundation certification before taking the SRE Practitioner exam. Foundation will provide a useful grounding in the core concepts explored in these courses before you move into the more advanced Practitioner material.
What are SLOs and SLIs in Site Reliability Engineering?
Service Level Objectives define the level of service performance an organisation aims to achieve, while Service Level Indicators provide the measurements used to assess that performance. They help teams make reliability more visible and measurable.
