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.

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