Site Reliability Engineers must have the right tools and strategies to perform in a fast-paced technical environment. Nine competency areas guide the successful practice of IBM Cloud SREs.
● Applying Site Reliability Engineering principles
● Operations
● Monitoring and incident management
● Security and compliance
● Compute infrastructure
● Networking
● Storage and data management
● Reliability and resiliency
● Deployment automation
In this second course of the three-part Professional Certificate in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), you will focus on the following five SRE competencies:
● Compute infrastructure
● Networking
● Storage and data management
● Reliability and resiliency
● Deployment automation
NOTE: The remaining four SRE competencies are covered in Course 1: SRE Fundamentals and Security.
This course covers approximately 50% of the required content to help you prepare for the “IBM Certified Professional SRE - Cloud V2” certification exam.
If you are interested in pursuing the “IBM Certified Professional SRE - Cloud V2” certification, to improve your passing success, we recommend that you complete all three offerings of the Professional Certificate in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to ensure a successful certification exam experience.
