Site Reliability Engineers must have the right tools and strategies to perform in a fast-paced technical environment. Nine competency areas guide the successful practice of IBM Cloud SREs.
- Applying Site Reliability Engineering principles
- Operations
- Monitoring and incident management
- Security and compliance
- Compute infrastructure
- Networking
- Storage and data management
- Reliability and resiliency
- Deployment automation
In this second course of the three-part Professional Certificate in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), you will focus on the following five SRE competencies:
- Compute infrastructure
- Networking
- Storage and data management
- Reliability and resiliency
- Deployment automation
NOTE: The remaining four SRE competencies are covered in Course 1: SRE Fundamentals and Security.
This course is part of the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Professional Certificate.
