However, Google expects people to simply adapt the tech company’s suggestions and best practices for their specific context. This is how things are done at Google, but this may not work in your environment.\nToday, we’re talking to Liz Fong-Jones, a Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at Google. Liz works on the Google Cloud Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE) team and enjoys helping people adapt reliability practices in a way that makes sense for their companies.\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n\nLiz figures out an appropriate level of reliability for a service and how a service is engineered to meet that target\nStaff SRE involves implementation, and then identifying and solving problems\nGoogle’s CRE team makes sure Google Cloud customers can build seamless services on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP)\nService Level Objectives (SLOs) include error budgets, service level indicators, and key metrics to resolve issues when technology fails\nLearn from failures through instant reports and shared post-mortems; be transparent with customers and yourself\nGCP: Is it part of Google or not? It’s not a division between old and new.\nPerceptions and misunderstandings of how Google does things and how it’s a different environment\nGoogle’s efforts toward customer service and responsiveness to needs\nMigrating between different Cloud providers vs. higher level services\nHow to use Cloud machine learning-based products\nGCP needs to focus on usability to maintain a phase of growth\nOffer sensible APIs; tear up, turn down, and update in a programmatic fashion\nPromotion vs. Different Job: When you’ve learned as much as you can, look for another team to teach something new\nWhat is Cloud and what isn’t? Cloud deployments require SRE to be successful but SREs can work on systems that do not necessarily run in the Cloud.\n\nLinks:\n\nCloud Spanner\nKubernetes\nCloud Bigtable\nGoogle Cloud...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vgV98ushAFvdAFQSQazvt5GYVniCaXSWIjs5eI3r0gQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0OTQvMTU4Mzg2/OTQ4My1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
