Mark Duquette, IBM DevOps Services SRE, and Tom Schmidt, IBM
You've spent the last year building tools and infrastructure to enable Continuous Delivery practices. Your next challenge; apply what you’ve learned building out a Common Infrastructure environment to jumpstart your new SRE organization.
Some of the same concepts that went into developing a comprehensive delivery pipeline can be used for SRE activities.
In this session, we will discuss how to re-purpose existing tools, dashboards and frameworks so that they can be used to enable
SRE tasks.
We will explore these topics using real-world experiences as we worked to build out an effective SRE organization.
