Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Foundation Certification Training

The SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) Foundation Certification Training course is an introduction to the principles and practises that enable an organisation to reliably and economically scale critical services. Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organisational re-alignment, a new focus on engineering & automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms.

The course highlights the evolution of SRE and its future direction and equips participants with the practises, methods, and tools to engage people across the organisation involved in reliability and stability evidenced using real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in the office such as understanding, setting, and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLO’s).

This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.

An understanding and knowledge of common DevOps terminology and concepts and related work experience are recommended.

The course was developed by leveraging key SRE sources, engaging with thought-leaders in the SRE space and working with organisations embracing SRE to extract real-life best practises and has been designed to teach the key principles & practises necessary for starting SRE adoption.

This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.
