Abstract

This scholarly article explores Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) as a modern approach to enhancing the uptime and reliability of cloud services. SRE combines software engineering practices with operations to implement scalable, efficient, and resilient systems. The article examines the evolution of SRE, its core principles and best practices, and its role in maintaining high availability and reliability in cloud environments. It also delves into key components such as resilient architecture, monitoring and alerting systems, incident response and post-incident analysis, and the cultural aspects of SRE implementation. Through case studies and real-life examples, the article demonstrates the impact of SRE and highlights emerging trends in this field.
