Establishing a Scalable SRE Infrastructure Using Standardization and Short Feedback Loops
This article explores an SRE implementation where the operations team builds and runs the SRE infrastructure and the development teams build and run the services leveraging the SRE infrastructure. This SRE solution enables the software delivery organization to scale the number of services in operation without linearly scaling the number of people required to operate the services.
