Site reliability engineering incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to infrastructure and operations problems to create scalable and highly reliable software systems. It’s a methodology that in many ways is complementary to DevOps, but are SRE and DevOps on parallel tracks or do they intersect and overlap? The answer depends on the organization. In this topic spotlight, we look at the role of SRE, where SRE and DevOps converge and diverge, and how organizations can successfully incorporate SRE into their IT environments.
