SRE at Google: Planet-scale observability - OpenObservability Talks S2E05


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how services are operated at Google’s scale? Here’s your opportunity to find out. Ramón will share how his SRE team runs Google’s identity services, and the elaborate end-to-end observability they use to achieve it with strict SLA. We’ll also get a glimpse at the birthplace of Kubernetes, OpenCensus, Dapper, Monarch and other cornerstones of today’s cloud-native DevOps and observability.

Ramón Medrano Llamas (@rmedranollamas) is a staff site reliability engineer at Google, focused on user identity and authentication. He concentrates on the reliability aspects of new Google products and new features of existing products, ensuring that they meet the same high bar as every other Google service. Before joining Google in 2013, he worked at CERN developing and designing distributed systems for physics. He holds a master’s degree in computer science and is pursuing a PhD on distributed systems.
