Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

Offered By: IBM via edX

Course Description

Overview

This Professional Certificate program in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) helps you build the skills and knowledge required to work independently as a Site Reliability Engineer. This program from the IBM Center for Cloud Training covers operations, monitoring, troubleshooting, incident management, security and deployments on the IBM Cloud and key skills for any SRE professional. You will be trained on SRE principles and the tools that you can use to help organizations gain greater resiliency, availability, and reliability for their cloud-based workloads. This program can help you earn the IBM Cloud Professional Site Reliability Engineer certification, which validates your skills and can expand your career opportunities.

The first two courses provide interactive and applied learning on SRE principles, operational readiness, service health monitoring, root cause analysis, implementation and management of compute, networking and storage options, reliability and resiliency services and deployment automation.

The third course, the Capstone, includes certification exam preparation study materials and practice exercises in a virtual lab environment.

Upon completion of all three courses, you should have acquired the skills to operate services that sustain service level objectives and engineer scalable, secure, and highly reliable and resilient services in the IBM Cloud. The program will help you prepare for the IBM Cloud Professional Site Reliability Engineer v2 certification exam.
