Site Reliability Engineer: Responsibilities, Roles and Salaries
DevOps gained popularity in order to combat siloed workflows, decreased collaboration and a lack of visibility across the software development lifecycle. While establishing a culture of DevOps has helped teams collaborate better and deliver reliable software faster, DevOps teams don’t necessarily have someone specifically dedicated to developing systems that increase site reliability and performance. That’s where a site reliability engineer (SRE) comes into the picture.
Strategies for Kubernetes Cluster Administrators: Understanding Pod Scheduling

CommsFlow Messaging Templates | Blameless
Effective communication is critical during incidents. In order to minimize the impact of an incident and resolve it quickly, it's important that all stakeholders are kept informed and updated throughout the incident response process. However, communicating during an incident can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple stakeholders and a high level of stress. On-call engineers can have their focus disrupted by switching out of their diagnostic tools to issue communications.
Types of Incident Retrospective Templates
When an incident occurs, it's important to take the time to review what happened, understand all the contributing factors, and identify systemic changes to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. This process is known as an incident retrospective. However, conducting incident retrospectives can be time-consuming and difficult, especially when dealing with multiple stakeholders and a large amount of data.
