What you'll learn

Modern SRE teams face increasing pressure to deliver exceptional reliability while managing costs and demonstrating clear business value. But their monitoring focus is on technical reliability and user experience, which doesn't easily align with business value. In this course, SRE: Measuring and Optimizing Reliability, you'll learn to transform your reliability practice to proactive optimization using advanced metrics, AI-powered automation, and business-aligned strategies. First, you'll explore how to build composite SLIs and error budgets that truly reflect user experience, correlating that with business value. Next, you'll discover how to leverage machine learning for anomaly detection and predictive failure analysis while optimizing both performance and costs. Finally, you'll learn how to translate technical reliability metrics into compelling business narratives, building executive dashboards and ROI models that justify investments and position SRE as a strategic business enabler. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of advanced reliability engineering needed to optimize complex distributed systems at scale while driving measurable business value.
