Practical Site Reliability Engineering

By: Pethuru Raj Chelliah, Shreyash Naithani, Shailender Singh

Overview of this book

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is being touted as the most competent paradigm in establishing and ensuring next-generation high-quality software solutions. This book starts by introducing you to the SRE paradigm and covers the need for highly reliable IT platforms and infrastructures. As you make your way through the next set of chapters, you will learn to develop microservices using Spring Boot and make use of RESTful frameworks. You will also learn about GitHub for deployment, containerization, and Docker containers. Practical Site Reliability Engineering teaches you to set up and sustain containerized cloud environments, and also covers architectural and design patterns and reliability implementation techniques such as reactive programming, and languages such as Ballerina and Rust. In the concluding chapters, you will get well-versed with service mesh solutions such as Istio and Linkerd, and understand service resilience test practices, API gateways, and edge/fog computing. By the end of this book, you will have gained experience on working with SRE concepts and be able to deliver highly reliable apps and services.

Cloud infrastructure and application monitoring


The cloud idea has disrupted, innovated, and transformed the IT world. Yet, the various cloud infrastructures, resources, and applications ought to be minutely monitored and measured through automated tools. The aspect of automation is gathering momentum in the cloud era. Every activity is getting automated through pioneering algorithms and technologically powerful tools. A slew of flexibilities in the form of customization, configuration, and composition are being enacted through cloud automation tools. A bevy of manual and semi-automated tasks are being fully automated through a series of advancements in the IT space. In this section, we are going to discuss the infrastructure monitoring toward infrastructure optimization and automation. There are processes, platforms, procedures, and products to enable cloud monitoring. 

Enterprise-scale and mission-critical applications are being cloud-enabled to be deployed in various cloud environments...
