SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) and observability are key concepts in operations work. These questions cover different levels of operational practices and concepts. Below is a brief response to some of the questions:
SRE is a concept that applies software engineering methods to operations with the aim of improving system reliability and efficiency. It emphasizes automating and programming repetitive tasks to ensure high service availability. SRE typically uses SLOs (Service Level Objectives) and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) to set acceptable system performance standards and manages the balance between system stability and innovation through error budgets.
Observability refers to the ability to infer the internal state of a system from its external outputs. It is primarily achieved through logs, metrics, and tracing, helping operations teams quickly diagnose issues.
Major failures are often related to network or database outages. Addressing such issues requires multi-layered investigation, including application logs, network status, and database health, to identify the root cause and restore service while ensuring a disaster recovery plan is in place.
Risks of human error can be mitigated through strict change management, permission controls, and rollback mechanisms. When a failure occurs, the first step is to quickly roll back or fix the issue, followed by a post-mortem review to improve processes and auditing mechanisms.
Learning new technologies is achieved by reading documentation, participating in open source projects, practicing with new tools, and attending technical forums and online courses. Continuous learning and practice are crucial.
Recent areas of focus may include cloud-native technologies, container orchestration, automation tools (such as Ansible and Terraform), and observability toolchains (such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki).
Building an operations framework typically includes monitoring and alerting, backup and recovery, CI/CD automation, log management, security management, change management, and resource optimization.
Fault event management generally involves classifying alert levels, having an emergency response plan, notification mechanisms, and post-event reviews. The coverage of alerts can be determined by assessing the comprehensiveness of monitoring metrics, and accuracy is measured by avoiding false positives and negatives.
Operations focus on system stability, while development focuses on functionality. The collaboration model involves working together, with operations providing tools and platform support.
Future directions include moving towards automation and intelligence, such as AIOps, cloud-native operations, and deeper integration with DevOps.
Focus areas include monitoring system stability, ensuring high availability, emergency response and recovery, and optimizing system performance.
Efficiency can be improved through automation tools, standardized processes, and reducing repetitive tasks.
The content should include the cause of the fault, impact scope, solution, improvement measures, and responsibility allocation.
Automation enhances efficiency, but critical operations should retain manual verification to ensure safety.
Balance stability and innovation through error budgets, setting reasonable SLOs.
Set reasonable SLOs/SLAs based on business needs; excessive reliability can lead to unnecessary costs.
Use progressive deployment and canary releases to validate the impact of new technologies on stability.
Use automation tools to minimize low-value repetitive tasks and focus on higher-level optimization work.
Optimize alert thresholds and tiered notifications to ensure accuracy and urgency of alerts.
Design should cover all IT assets and their dependencies, ensuring real-time updates and high availability.
Target an automation coverage rate of over 90% based on team maturity.
Base arguments on data and facts, present strong evidence, and seek reasonable consensus.
Strengths include strong sense of responsibility and solid technical skills; weaknesses may involve excessive focus on details, potentially impacting progress.
Broad technical background, deep understanding of system stability, proficiency in automation, and efficient problem diagnosis.
Possible reasons include network issues, load balancer misconfigurations, service delays, or frontend resource loading failures.
Check load, network latency, database queries, and log analysis to identify bottlenecks.
Include tiered alerts, SLO monitoring, cover core services and infrastructure, and provide automated remediation mechanisms.
