SRE Service Level Objectives and Error Budgets
This lesson covers service level objectives and error budgets in site reliability engineering.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that combines software engineering and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, highly available systems. The principles and practices of SRE are designed to ensure that a company's systems are reliable, efficient, and easy to operate.

One of the key principles of SRE is to treat system reliability as a software problem. This means that SRE teams focus on building automation and monitoring systems to prevent outages and quickly identify and fix any problems that do occur.

This course teaches the principles and practices of site reliability engineering to a level 1 standard.
