SRE Best Practices

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a practice that emerged at Google because of its need for highly reliable and scalable systems. SRE unifies operations and development teams and implements DevOps principles to ensure system reliability, scalability, and performance. There's plenty of documentation on tactics for adopting automation and implementing infrastructure as code, but practical ops-focused SRE best practices based on real-world experience are harder to find. This article will explore 6 SRE best practices based on feedback from SREs and technical subject matter experts.

Introduction to Kubernetes Imperative Commands

Kubernetes was born out of the need to make our complex applications highly available, scalable, portable and deployable in small microservices independently. It also extends its capabilities to make adoption of DevOps processes and helps you set up modern Incident Response strategies to enhance the reliability of your applications.
