An 'Observe and Report Buddy' for your SRE toolbox.
Green Orb is a lightweight monitoring tool that enhances your application's reliability by observing its console output for specific patterns and executing predefined actions in response. Designed to integrate seamlessly, it's deployed as a single executable binary that runs your application as a subprocess, where it can monitor all console output, making it particularly useful in containerized environments. Green Orb acts as a proactive assistant, handling essential monitoring tasks and enabling SREs to automate responses to critical system events effectively.
Learning-by-Doing Platform to master Cloud Native craft. Training Challenges for Building DevOps and SRE Skills.
At LinkedIn, we are using this curriculum for onboarding our entry-level talents into the SRE role.
Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) sits at the intersection of software engineering and systems engineering. While there are potentially infinite permutations and combinations of how infrastructure and software components can be put together to achieve an objective, focusing on foundational skills allows SREs to work with complex systems and software, regardless of whether these systems are proprietary, 3rd party, open systems, run on cloud/on-prem infrastructure, etc. Particularly important is to gain a deep understanding of how these areas of systems and infrastructure relate to each other and interact with each other. The combination of software and systems engineering skills is rare and is generally built over time with exposure to a wide variety of infrastructure, systems, and software.
