Yes, I co-authored this book and believe we did well! It's intended for any software developer or system administrator that wants to become a site reliability engineer. Jeremy and I took this journey, so we have many things to share.I received five copies from Packt but decided to buy another copy of this book. You know, to test the system's reliability. It was interesting to see the first copies were printed in the UK while this last one was published in the US. The content is exactly the same except for the last page, which has this information about where it was printed. Nevertheless, people started asking me why I was buying my own book. Of course, I jokingly said I needed to do so by contract to fulfill its clauses. You should see their faces.

If you’re new or experienced this book will fit either. The content is detailed but also very practical. The examples “labs” are well written and reinforce the SRE framework and best practices. I preferred reading the hard copy over the pdf for non exercise readings

As a fellow Site Reliability Engineer, I found this book to be a truly exceptional resource. It provides an in-depth exploration of the core principles that are crucial for excelling in the ever-evolving tech industry as an SRE. The term "SRE" is pervasive, yet its true essence and proper implementation remain elusive to many. However, this book serves as a comprehensive guide, enlightening readers about the essential concepts and practices that define the role of an efficient SRE. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, the valuable insights shared within these pages will undoubtedly enhance your understanding and proficiency as a Site Reliability Engineer.
