SRE and DevOps: Building Reliable Systems
SRE and DevOps: Building Reliable Systems SRE and DevOps share a common goal: to deliver software quickly while staying reliable. SRE brings engineering rigor to reliability, using error budgets and clear service level objectives. DevOps emphasizes collaboration, automation, and fast feedback loops. When teams combine these ideas, they move from firefighting to steady, measurable improvement. Reliability is a property of the whole system, not a single tool. Build it on four pillars: clear ownership, automated workflows, strong observability, and a culture of learning. Ownership avoids confusion about who fixes components.
