The Site Reliability Engineer path

The reliability path. You start from production Linux and networking, build real observability, then learn to define SLOs, alert on burn rate, run an incident and turn it into lasting fixes. Incidents along the way are the on-call reps.

Who it is for

Engineers joining an on-call rotation, operations engineers moving into SRE, and developers who want to understand how their services fail.

Milestones

  1. 01

    Production Linux under pressure

    The host-level skills and the calm, methodical loop that every incident starts with.

  2. 02

    Networks that fail in interesting ways

    Bad host entries, proxies and stale DNS: the classic outage shapes.

  3. 03

    See the system

    Logs, metrics, dashboards and traces, wired so the next outage explains itself.

  4. 04

    SLOs and error budgets

    Turn reliability into a number the whole team can plan against.

  5. 05

    Own the pager

    Alert routing, runbooks and the first fifteen minutes of an incident.

  6. 06

    Learn from every incident

    Timelines, MTTR and action items that make the next outage shorter.
