What is clinical troubleshooting? #incidentmanagement #incidentresponse #sitereliabilityengineering

In this clip, Dan Slimmons explains what this clinical troubleshooting framework entails. It’s no secret that teamwork is one of those things that, when done right, can make a world of a difference. So sometimes, when responding to a particularly complicated incident, it can be best to bring a team together to figure out what’s going on and work towards a fix. But it’s not enough to just jam a bunch of folks into a room and hope for the best. You need a framework in place to ensure that everyone stays focused, diagnoses the issue and resolves it as quickly as possible.

Learning is an iterative process #incidentmanagement #incidentresponse #sitereliabilityengineering

In this clip, Viktor Stanchev explains why it's important to remember that learning is an iterative process. Whether you’re a seasoned vet when it comes to incident response, or just getting started out, it can be easy to fall into the trap of doing too much all at once. And it just makes sense. Incident response is one of those things that doesn’t have a single, perfect formula, so teams can be left doing a little bit of everything in an effort to get it right.

It's better to declare incidents early #incidentmanagement #sitereliabilityengineering

In this clip, Viktor Stanchev explains why it's better to declare incidents early rather than too late. Whether you’re a seasoned vet when it comes to incident response, or just getting started out, it can be easy to fall into the trap of doing too much all at once. And it just makes sense. Incident response is one of those things that doesn’t have a single, perfect formula, so teams can be left doing a little bit of everything in an effort to get it right.

Elastic's RAG-based AI Assistant: Analyze application issues with LLMs and private GitHub issues

As an SRE, analyzing applications is more complex than ever. Not only do you have to ensure the application is running optimally to ensure great customer experiences, but you must also understand the inner workings in some cases to help troubleshoot. Analyzing issues in a production-based service is a team sport. It takes the SRE, DevOps, development, and support to get to the root cause and potentially remediate. If it's impacting, then it's even worse because there is a race against time.

Advanced Incident Management Strategies for Engineers

The business world is in constant flux, and the way we handle Incident Management (IM) needs to evolve alongside it. Incidents come in all priorities and urgencies, and while some can be addressed with any planning, others are simply unpredictable. That's why businesses can't afford to be caught off guard. The potential consequences of such incidents for businesses have never been greater. A single event can disrupt operations, damage reputations, and result in significant financial losses.

Automation Triumphs Real-World DevOps Automation Implementations

Remember the pre-automation days in DevOps? Endless server configurations, manual deployments that took hours (or days!), and a constant feeling of being buried in repetitive tasks. Yeah, those were the times... �� Thankfully, those days are fading fast. The magic of automation has swept through the DevOps landscape, transforming tedious workflows into streamlined processes.

Reinventing Deployments: From Docker to Dagger -- Incidentally Reliable with Solomon Hykes

Catch Solomon Hykes (Co-founder of @Docker and @Dagger) shares stories from the early days of Docker, the rollercoaster journey leading to 20 million active developers worldwide, the heavy crown of a tech leader and his vision to revolutionize CI/CD with Dagger today.

Elevating Engineering Excellence: The Imperative of Site Reliability for Every Engineer

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, engineers are the architects of the digital world. Their expertise shapes the platforms, applications, and services that define our daily interactions with technology. Yet, in the pursuit of innovation and functionality, there's one crucial aspect that often takes a backseat—site reliability. Site reliability engineering (SRE) has emerged as a critical discipline in the realm of software development and operations.
