Adventures in SRE-land: Welcome to Google Mission Control
https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/07/adventures-in-SRE-land-welcome-to-Google-Mission-Control.html
But what is an SRE? According to Google Vice President of
Engineering Ben Treynor Sloss, who coined the term SRE, "SRE
is what happens when you ask a software engineer to design an
operations function." In 2003, Ben was asked to lead Google's
existing "Production Team" which at the time consisted of
seven software engineers. The team started as a software
engineering team, and since Ben is also a software engineer,
he continued to grow a team that he, as a software engineer,
would still want to work on. Thirteen years later, Ben leads a
team of roughly 2,000 SREs, and it is still a team that
software engineers want to work on. About half of the
engineers who do a Mission Control rotation choose to remain
an SRE after their rotation is complete.
