Course Overview

This advanced practical training course provides a structured approach to Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), focusing on the engineering practices required to build reliable, scalable, resilient, and highly available digital services. It connects software engineering, operations, automation, monitoring, and incident management to improve service reliability while maintaining delivery speed. The programme explores reliability principles, service-level objectives, service-level indicators, service-level agreements, error budgets, monitoring, observability, incident response, problem management, capacity planning, performance engineering, and automation. Participants also examine how reliability requirements can be translated into measurable operational targets and engineering practices. Through practical exercises, service analysis, incident scenarios, reliability assessments, and improvement workshops, participants develop the ability to identify reliability risks, establish meaningful reliability metrics, reduce operational toil, improve incident response, and create sustainable SRE practices aligned with business and customer requirements.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the principles, practices, and operating model of Site Reliability Engineering.
  • Evaluate the relationship between software engineering, operations, reliability, and business objectives.
  • Define meaningful Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for critical digital services.
  • Develop Service Level Objectives (SLOs) aligned with service requirements and user expectations.
  • Apply error budgets to balance reliability and the pace of software delivery.
  • Design effective monitoring and observability approaches for production environments.
  • Analyse incidents, service disruptions, and recurring operational problems.
  • Apply structured incident response and post-incident review practices.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational toil through automation.
  • Evaluate capacity, performance, scalability, and availability requirements.
  • Apply reliability engineering practices to improve service resilience and operational efficiency.
  • Develop a practical SRE improvement roadmap for a service or technology environment.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for SRE engineers, DevOps engineers, software engineers, cloud engineers, platform engineers, system administrators, infrastructure specialists, and IT operations professionals responsible for the reliability and performance of digital services. It is also suitable for IT managers, technical leads, solution architects, application support teams, service managers, incident managers, and professionals involved in monitoring, availability, capacity, performance, and operational resilience. The programme is particularly relevant to organizations operating critical applications, cloud platforms, digital services, customer-facing systems, or high-availability technology environments where reliability, scalability, and rapid incident response are business priorities.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the core principles and operating practices of SRE.
  • Analyse service reliability requirements from both technical and business perspectives.
  • Define appropriate SLIs and establish measurable SLOs.
  • Apply error budgets to support informed release and reliability decisions.
  • Design monitoring and observability practices for critical services.
  • Analyse service performance, availability, and reliability trends.
  • Respond systematically to incidents and service disruptions.
  • Conduct structured post-incident analysis and identify corrective actions.
  • Identify and prioritize operational toil reduction opportunities.
  • Evaluate capacity, scalability, and performance requirements.
  • Strengthen service resilience through automation and engineering practices.
  • Develop an actionable SRE framework and reliability improvement roadmap.
