The overwhelming majority of a software system’s lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems? In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Google’s Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. You’ll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficient—lessons directly applicable to your organization. This book is divided into four sections: Introduction—Learn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practices Principles—Examine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE) Practices—Understand the theory and practice of an SRE’s day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systems Management—Explore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use

Can a system be considered truly reliable if it isn't fundamentally secure? Or can it be considered secure if it's unreliable? Security is crucial to the design and operation of scalable systems in production, as it plays an important part in product quality, performance, and availability. In this book, experts from Google share best practices to help your organization design scalable and reliable systems that are fundamentally secure. Two previous O’Reilly books from Google—Site Reliability Engineering and The Site Reliability Workbook—demonstrated how and why a commitment to the entire service lifecycle enables organizations to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain software systems. In this latest guide, the authors offer insights into system design, implementation, and maintenance from practitioners who specialize in security and reliability. They also discuss how building and adopting their recommended best practices requires a culture that’s supportive of such change. You’ll learn about secure and reliable systems through: Design strategies Recommendations for coding, testing, and debugging practices Strategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents Cultural best practices that help teams across your organization collaborate effectively

Well, you have been hearing a lot about DevOps lately, wait until you meet a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)! Google is the pioneer in the SRE movement and Ben Treynor from Google defines SRE as," "what happens when a software engineer is tasked with what used to be called operations". The ongoing struggles between Development and Ops team for software releases have been sorted out by mathematical formula for green or red-light launches! Sounds interesting, now do you know which the organizations are using SRE: Apart from Google, you can find SRE job postings from: LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, Oracle, Twitter and many more. I also enquired about the average salary of a SRE in USA and all the leading sites gave similar results around $130,000 per year. Also, currently the most sought job titles in tech domain are DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer. So do you want to know, How SRE works, what are the skill sets required, How a software engineer can transit to SRE role, How LinkedIn used SRE to smoothen the deployment process. Here is your chance to dive into the SRE role and know what it takes to be and implement best SRE practices. The DevOps, Continuous Delivery and SRE movements are here to stay and grow, its time you to ride the wave! So, don't wait and take action!
