The overwhelming majority of a software systems lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems?In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Googles Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. Youll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficientlessons directly applicable to your organization.This book is divided into four sections:IntroductionLearn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practicesPrinciplesExamine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE)PracticesUnderstand the theory and practice of an SREs day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systemsManagementExplore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use

Google's Site Reliability Engineering book ignited an industry discussion on what it means to run production services today. Now, Google engineers who worked on that bestseller introduce The Site Reliability Workbook, a hands-on companion that uses concrete examples to show you how to put SRE principles and practices to work in your environment.

Can a system be considered truly reliable if it isn't fundamentally secure? Or can it be considered secure if it's unreliable? Security is crucial to the design and operation of scalable systems in production, as it plays an important part in product quality, performance, and availability. In this book, experts from Google share best practices to help your organization design scalable and reliable systems that are fundamentally secure.Two previous OReilly books from GoogleSite Reliability Engineering and The Site Reliability Workbookdemonstrated how and why a commitment to the entire service lifecycle enables organizations to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain software systems. In this latest guide, the authors offer insights into system design, implementation, and maintenance from practitioners who specialize in security and reliability. They also discuss how building and adopting their recommended best practices requires a culture thats supportive of such change.Youll learn about secure and reliable systems through:Design strategiesRecommendations for coding, testing, and debugging practicesStrategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidentsCultural best practices that help teams across your organization collaborate effectively
