Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE for short, has become quite the buzzword. I wasn’t there in 2004, when Ben Treynor started it at Google, but I claim bragging rights based on the fact that the very same Ben Treynor interviewed me for an SRE role in 2005. (I also got the job after the interview, in case that wasn’t obvious…) When SREcon EMEA 2019 came along, I thought it was just about time to publicly speculate about the future of our profession.

IT Ops and DevOps people live by metrics – but not all metrics are the same. These days, setting and achieving meaningful service level indicators (SLIs), which translate to service level objectives (SLOs) is a desirable target for many IT pros. Meaningful SLOs have a tight connection with real-world user experiences, versus arbitrary metrics that may distract teams from the root cause of an issue.
