Implementing robust site reliability engineering (SRE) practices is a crucial step for organizations seeking to enhance their operations—especially as modern environments become increasingly complex and fast-paced. However, if an organization tries to adopt SRE without thoroughly assessing the best model to use, it will likely waste valuable resources while failing to realize the expected benefits of a mature SRE program.
To mitigate these risks, organizations should approach SRE adoption with informed planning, collaboration across teams, and proven tools for analyzing SRE operating models. This strategy will ensure the creation of an effective SRE practice that enables the organization to deliver and maintain reliable systems, achieve business objectives, and scale with the environment.
