Red Hat User Group

Matt Smith, Chief Architect at Red Hat, will be moderating a presentation by Praveen Rajagopalan, Sr. OpenShift Solution Architect, on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). SRE is a discipline that incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to IT operations problems. The main goals are to create ultra-scalable and highly reliable software systems.

During Praveen's presentation, he will give an introduction to the SRE role in the modern organization, and discuss topics such as:

• What is an SRE?
• SRE vs. DevOps
• What metrics should you care about?
• Setting error budgets
• Advanced deployment techniques and how to orchestrate them
• Incorporating chaos engineering into your testing
• Demonstrating how Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Istio can be used to implement some of these practices.

We will meet in the Aetna Room at Dunkin' Donuts Park on April 16th at 4pm for the presentation. After the presentation, we'll head down to the dugout suite for good food, libations and Yard Goats baseball.  We'll also be throwing out the first pitch!
