What is SRE? Is SRE different from DevOps? Are they competing standards?

SRE is what happens when you ask a software engineer to design an operations team” (B.T.Sloss)

  • SRE or Site Reliability Engineering is coined by Benjamin Treynor Sloss – VP of Engineering at Google in 2003
  • The focus is to apply a “Software Engineering” mindset instead of a “System Admin” approach to Service Management
  • “Reliably” pursue maximum change velocity with emphasis on “Engineering”
  • Bridges gap between Development and Operations
  • Sounds similar to DevOps – Doesn’t it?
