SRE Foundation (SREF)℠ Sept 4th & 5th + Site Reliability Engineering Practitioner (SREP) Sept 25th-Sept 27th Certification Program

Course Duration - 40 Hours  

OVERVIEW

The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Foundation℠ course is an introduction to the principles & practices that enable an organization to reliably and economically scale critical services. Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organizational re-alignment, a new focus on engineering & automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms.

The course highlights the evolution of SRE and its future direction and equips participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organization involved in reliability and stability evidenced through the use of real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in the office such as understanding, setting and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLO’s).

The course was developed by leveraging key SRE sources, engaging with thought-leaders in the SRE space and working with organizations embracing SRE to extract real-life best practices and has been designed to teach the key principles & practices necessary for starting SRE adoption.

This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.

SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Practitioner

The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Practitioner is an advanced course that goes in-depth on the principles and practices that enable an organization to scale IT services reliably and securely. Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organizational re-alignment, a new focus on engineering and automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms for Operations like having a design and Build approach compared to the Operate and Maintain approach currently practiced. SRE is about collaboration and breaking down the silos across Dev and Ops.

[SREP does not stand alone. It works with DevOps and Lean, IT Service Management and Agile]

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Site Reliability Engineering Practitioner
