Differences in SRE Implementations across Companies
summary
Companies deploy embedded SREs or central horizontal pods and sometimes both; reporting ranges from direct CIO lines to being inside product engineering. Reliability targets come from product teams or customer traffic and are enforced as SLOs defined by product with success measured by meeting SLOs, customer impact and reduced incident exposure — one team reports no incident bridges for two years. Small shops collapse SRE into ops/security, while large orgs formalize career ladders and tooling automation; toil targets aim for toil <50%.
