Google Professional DevOps Engineer: Foundations of SRE

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Understanding site reliability engineering (SRE) principles, the delicate balance between innovation and stability, and applying SRE best practices on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) allows you to build and manage highly reliable, scalable systems. SRE bridges development and operations, automates tasks, and improves incident response, leading to higher uptime, cost savings, better user experiences, and continuous improvement in IT infrastructure. In this course, you will explore the foundations of SRE principles, key components, and how to apply them effectively for improved service reliability. Then you will examine the concepts of error budgets, service-level objectives (SLOs), service-level agreements (SLAs), and the automation of toil. Next, you will explore capacity planning, autoscaling with GCP tools, service-level indicators (SLIs), and the crucial role of feedback loops. Finally, you will discover various service lifecycle models and the importance of blameless culture and analyze real-world case studies of successful SRE implementations. This course is one of a collection that prepares learners for the Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer exam.
