SRE Practices That Work

About this course

SRE is not a job title. It is a set of practices. This course covers SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, incident response, postmortem culture, toil reduction, capacity planning, and implementing SRE without a dedicated team.

What you will learn

  • SRE vs DevOps vs platform engineering boundaries
  • Defining SLIs and SLOs that actually matter
  • Error budgets as a decision framework
  • Incident response: severity, communication, and on-call
  • Blameless postmortems with action items that stick
  • Toil measurement and systematic reduction
  • Capacity planning and load testing
  • Implementing SRE without a dedicated SRE team
