The Endgame of SRE
The containers are deployed and the builds are green. Yaml flows through the system, linted, reviewed, tested, and shipped with ease and regularity. Our intrepid SRE finds themself at a crossroads. The infrastructure is great but teams still struggle to maintain error budgets. These developers need help, and it doesn't seem like anyone else is coming to help them. We embark on a journey, to find out where resilience exists and how to make more. Join Amy on an epic quest into sociotechnical thinking, exploring ways SREs can impact reliability at scale beyond the bits and bytes that got us this far.

Did the Chaos Test Pass?
Wednesday Oct 26 / 11:50AM PDT
People used to ask me all the time how to figure out if their chaos test has “passed,” and I’d always say “well, that’s a loaded question.” To confirm that a chaos test “passed,” we need to do verification of hypotheses - sometimes you’re trying to prove some system behavior occurred in response

Wednesday Oct 26 / 04:10PM PDT
One of the most important decisions in building an SRE practice is what kind of work should be assigned to the SRE team, and in what percentages.
