A site reliability engineer, or SRE, is a role that that encompasses aspects of both software engineering and operations/infrastructure. It also encompasses a strategy and set of practices and principles across service offerings and is closely tied to DevOps and operations. The term site reliability engineering first came into existence at Google in 2003 when a site reliability team was created. At that time, the team was made up of software engineers.

When it comes to risk management in banks, cloud-based computing offers significant advantages. On the other hand, risk managers will have a tough time making the switch from on-premises to the cloud.

The longer the pandemic stretches on, the more convinced I become that innovation is the key to recovery. And I’m not alone.
