SRE Introduction

<p>This week we read the forward, preface, and the first two chapters of <a href= "https://sre.google/sre-book/table-of-contents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Site Reliability Engineering</a>. We discuss the origins and basic tenants of SRE, look at how Google manages risk, and think about how we can incorporate SRE into our work.
