Why Choose This Course
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Foundation is an instructor-led training course that helps teams build and run reliable, scalable services in the real world. You’ll learn how SRE brings development and operations together through clear service targets, smart automation, and a culture that learns from incidents instead of blaming people. In practice, that means working with concepts like service level objectives (SLOs), service level indicators (SLIs), error budgets, and reliability roadmaps so you can improve customer experience without slowing delivery.
Across the course, you’ll translate SRE principles into day-to-day techniques: defining useful metrics, reducing repetitive manual work (toil), introducing progressive delivery patterns, and shaping sustainable on-call. We also explore observability, incident response, blameless post-incident reviews, and how SRE connects with Agile, DevOps, IT service management, platform engineering, and value stream management. What this means for you: fewer surprises in production, clearer trade-offs between features and reliability, and better collaboration across engineering, operations, and product.
This instructor-led course from Your Organisation Name balances explanation with practical discussion, frameworks, and examples you can adapt to your environment. A certificate of course attendance is included.

Skills Gained
- Define and use service level indicators (SLIs) and service level objectives (SLOs) to express customer-centric reliability targets.
- Establish and manage error budgets, including policies for feature release and incident response.
- Identify, measure, and reduce toil using automation, scripting, and workflow improvements.
- Design practical observability: logs, metrics, traces, and alerts that support fast detection and diagnosis.
- Apply progressive delivery approaches such as canary, blue-green, and feature flags to reduce risk.
- Build sustainable incident response with on-call practices, runbooks, and clear escalation paths.
- Facilitate blameless post-incident reviews that drive learning and systemic fixes.
- Prioritise reliability work alongside product development using reliability roadmaps and backlogs.
- Connect SRE with DevOps, Agile, and IT service management to improve flow and governance.
- Evaluate and select SRE tooling for monitoring, automation, and incident management.
- Use capacity and performance techniques (e.g., load testing, auto-scaling signals) to protect SLOs.
- Shape SRE adoption patterns and team topologies (central, embedded, or hybrid).
- Apply security-by-design and change safeguards within SRE automation.
- Leverage platform engineering, value stream thinking, and AIOps concepts where appropriate.
