Overview

Site Reliability Engineers must have the right tools and strategies to perform in a technical, fast-paced environment. IBM Cloud SRE is guided by nine competency areas that lead to the successful practice of the discipline:

● 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 first course of the three-part Professional Certificate in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), you will focus on the first four SRE competencies:

● Applying Site Reliability Engineering principles

● Operations

● Monitoring and incident management

● Security and compliance

NOTE: The remaining five SRE competencies are covered in Course 2: SRE Infrastructure, Resiliency and Deployment Automation.

This course covers approximately 50% of the content required to help you prepare for the “IBM Certified Professional SRE - Cloud V2” certification exam.

If you are interested in pursuing the “IBM Certified Professional SRE - Cloud V2” certification, we recommend that you complete all three offerings of the Professional Certificate in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to ensure a successful certification exam experience.
