Site Reliability Engineering & Observability

Increasingly complex IT system architectures require a deep understanding of how services can be operated reliably, problems detected early and failures prevented. In the fast-moving, agile world, however, it is almost impossible to operate error-free systems.

The approach is therefore to make systems fault-tolerant - resilient - instead. Site reliability engineering is the discipline that puts basic resilience concepts into practice by using appropriate tools.

In addition to the design of the system itself, an efficient monitoring solution plays at least as important a role.

This course is aimed at people who are involved in the development and operation of agile solutions or who are planning to convert their method to an agile concept.

Basic programming and command line skills are desirable.

In this course you will gain extensive know-how on how to design fault-tolerant systems and how to detect and analyze faults in these systems. This know-how is deepened in a laboratory using common tools.

If you would like to learn more about containerized applications, the Docker Fundamentals course is a good place to start.

You can get a comprehensive overview of orchestration and automated management of containerized applications in the Kubernetes and Kubernetes Advanced courses.

The basics of automation from source code to deployment—known as CI/CD—are taught in our GitLab Advanced course.

You can gain a deeper insight into message queue systems in our course on Kafka and RabbitMQ.

For a comprehensive overview of logging and monitoring, we recommend the courses Elasticsearch – Overview and Use, Elastic Stack – Implementation and Operation, and Modern Monitoring Solutions.
