How to Optimize Site Reliability Engineering Adoption

HARNESSING A MATURITY-BASED APPROACH

SRE is a set of principles and practices that, when combined, produce more reliable, failure-resilient systems and organizations. At Booz Allen, we partner with organizations to implement advanced and healthy SRE practices through a phased approach. We base this approach on three operating models—Developing, Advanced, and Optimized—that reflect organizations’ differing maturity levels:

SELECTING THE RIGHT SRE OPERATING MODEL

Organizations introducing SRE practices into their environment should be deliberate in their approach to selecting an SRE operating model that best fits their organization and workloads. Adopting the incorrect model could slow the rate at which the practice matures, result in redundant work and standards, or even create resource constraints.

SRE maturity, workload size and complexity, and organizational structure all factor into which operating model is most appropriate. Our maturity-based approach aligns the characteristics of the organization’s current SRE capability with increasingly robust operating models:
