In this episode of the LEAD Podcast, Geert van der Cruijsen and René van Osnabrugge tackle the evolving landscape of the tech industry, focusing on the shift from operations roles to Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). They embark on a journey to demystify SRE, tracing its origins back to Google and its founder, Benjamin Treynor Sloss. They delve into the critical components of SRE, including Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and how these elements facilitate a balance between operational stability and the need for continuous innovation. And... while they are at it, have a discussion on why everybody is now all of a sudden renaming IT Ops people to SRE's.
