Site Reliability Engineer

To keep up with technological advances and maintain a competitive advantage, many organizations are increasingly moving from a traditional IT approach to one that supports cloud-native services. This requires a shift from departmental silos to creating a resilient infrastructure that’s facilitated by DevOps principles and supported by a new engineering culture that improves service reliability.

The Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) role allows IT professionals to bridge the gaps between platform design and developmental and operational execution by applying SRE best practices.

COURSE OVERVIEW

This intermediate Site Reliability Engineer certification course provides fundamental principles and insights on the practical aspects of building, sustaining, and improving the SRE practice by mixing theory and hands-on interactive exercises to become certified and knowledgeable SRE and/or DevOps professionals.
