SRE

Site Reliability Engineering

operationsmedium

SRE is Google's discipline for running production systems with engineering rather than heroics: reliability targets (SLOs), error budgets that decide when to ship versus stabilize, and automation that removes toil. Security teams should know it because SRE owns the telemetry, deployment paths, and incident muscle that security response depends on, and because error-budget thinking translates naturally to risk conversations.
