00:00Hi everyone and welcome.

00:02Today we're exploring how Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE, is reshaping the world

00:07of IT operations, turning traditional incident management into a continuous cycle of learning,

00:12improvement and innovation.

00:16Modern IT teams face enormous challenges, complex systems, higher customer expectations

00:23and the need for near-zero downtime.

00:26SRE introduces an engineering discipline to operations, helping organizations move from

00:31firefighting to building reliable, scalable systems.

00:38So what exactly is Site Reliability Engineering?

00:42SRE bridges the gap between development and operations by applying software engineering

00:47principles to operational problems.

00:51Key elements include SLIs, SLAs, metrics and goals that define system reliability.

01:01Error budgets, allowing teams to take calculated risks.

01:06Automation, replacing manual tasks with smart self-healing systems.

01:12With SRE, operations teams stop just reacting and start preventing issues through engineering.

01:19SRE changes IT operations fundamentally.

01:22Instead of focusing only on stability, teams start focusing on value creation.

01:28Automation means fewer manual interventions, faster recovery from incidents and reduced human

01:32error.

01:34For example, a financial company reduced its mean time to recovery by 35% after adopting

01:40SRE practices.

01:42Collaboration also improves.

01:44Developers and operations engineers share ownership of reliability, building a culture

01:48of innovation.

01:50The phrase from incident to innovation describes the heart of SRE.

01:55Every incident isn't just a failure, it's an opportunity to learn and improve.

01:59Here's how it works.

02:01Define and measure reliability using SLIs and SLOs.

02:04When an incident occurs or the error budget runs out, analyze the root cause.

02:09Automate fixes and design changes.

02:12Feed that knowledge back into development and operations.

02:15This continuous feedback loop turns incident management into ongoing innovation.

02:21Automation is the backbone of SRE.

02:22It's not optional, it's essential.

02:25SRE teams use infrastructure as code tools like Terraform or Ansible, automate monitoring

02:30and alerting, and integrate CI-CD pipelines for faster, safer releases.

02:36The result?

02:37Less time spent fixing problems manually and more time focusing on engineering better systems.

02:44If you're considering introducing SRE in your organization, start small but think strategically.

02:51Most practices include define measurable goals, start with SLIs and SLOs, foster a blameless culture,

03:01learn from incidents, automate gradually focusing on repetitive tasks, invest in training and

03:10education for your team, involve business leaders, reliability must be a shared goal.

03:18To wrap up, SRE helps organizations evolve from simply reacting to problems to driving continuous

03:23improvement and innovation.

03:25If you're ready to build more reliable, scalable systems and take your IT operations to the

03:29next level, join our Site Reliability Engineering SRE Foundation Training at Advised Skills.
