SRE Jumpstart
summary
Covers concrete Site Reliability Engineering practices: defines customer‑user journeys (CUJs), selects specific SLIs/SLOs and shows the math that a 99.9% SLO gives a 0.1% error budget (~7.2 hours/month) translated into minutes and operational decisions. Demonstrates a Terraform-based demo shop and load generator on Google Cloud to measure SLIs, explains risk‑ranking by time‑to‑fail and time‑to‑repair to compute bad‑minutes and prioritize fixes, and describes enforcement mechanisms — dashboards, alerts, and error‑budget driven controls such as feature freezes and code‑red procedures with real examples of triggers.
