Evangelizing the SRE mindset | Cristina Buenahora Bustamante | Conf42 SRE 2021

Founding Engineer @ Cortex Most engineers respond to messages or emails from an SRE or security engineer with disdain. They often see the work of these teams as another hurdle to getting code out the door and a tax on their productivity. We know they’re wrong. We need to spread the SRE mindset and approach to all engineering teams and pivot their thinking towards “How can I build a solution that is resilient, secure, and scalable?”, and “How can I partner with my SRE and security teams to make this a reality?”. This talk will take a deep dive into the core principles of SRE thinking and how to create a culture of reliability and ownership, with practical takeaways that you can use with your own teams. Key Discussion Points (Outline): - How do SREs define their role? - How do engineers define the SRE role? - How do we bring these two together? - What does it mean to foster a culture of reliability and ownership? - How can you apply this to your delivery machine? - What products or services can help achieve these goals?

SLI Negotiation Tactics for Engineers | Alayshia Knighten | Conf42 SRE 2021

Alayshia Knighten - Team Lead, Onboarding Engineering @ Honeycomb.io Service level indicators are quantitative measures of a service, which in turn, are measured by SLOs. This is not the talk you think it is. As Engineers, we have our own SLIs, which are Survival Level Indicators, that measure and define if we are okay or not okay at a job. What happens when the rockstar engineer, who performs essential task A and B, hasn’t taken vacation in 9 months? Over time, not meeting SLIs can take its toll on engineers. How do we avoid burnout, turnover, and wider destruction in our teams? In this session, I will review different strategies to identify human burnout versus company personal objectives.Engineers share the same importance as customers and we should provide technical love to them as well.

So how can we empower developers to troubleshoot efficiently and independently? Join us as Itiel Shwartz, co-founding CTO at Komodor, discusses: - How to turn developers into k8s troubleshooting experts - What culture and mindset changes are needed to succeed - The link between chainge management and troubleshooting Other talks at this conference 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​/sre2021 — 0:00 Intro 1:16 Talk
