Building Reliability Through Culture with Veteran Google SRE, Steve McGhee

It’s astonishing that despite the tremendous time we spend working on our systems, we seem to have very little control over them. If we can’t predict where the next incidents will come from, then we will be forever stuck in a reactive cycle of repair. An analogous example is the famous fable of the Three Little Pigs.

Building an SRE Team with Specialization

As organizations progress in their reliability journey, they may build a dedicated team of site reliability engineers. This team can be structured in two major ways: a distributed model, where SREs are embedded in each project team, providing guidance and support for that team; and a centralized model, where one team provides infrastructure and processes for the entire organization. Most structures will be some combination of these ideas, with some SREs focusing on specific projects and other SRE projects completed as an SRE team.
