Making the case for SRE in a DevOps organization with Bart Enkelaar

How do you convince an organization that just went through a 2 year DevOps transformation to continue the journey by applying SRE practices? What is SRE anyway? What are good SLOs? And how do you get development teams to take responsibility for their code in production?

Bart Enkelaar, Lead Site Reliability Engineer at bol.com, not only got their organization to apply SRE practices, define good SLOs and got dev teams to rotate on-call duties. He also followed the advice of Margaret, Chief Platform Officer, to bring his personal passion to the job. This led to inspiring and educating the community about SRE and SLO through music. To see what I mean check out Barts The Game of SLOs – a three part reliability musical from SLOConf or his funny tech conversations at Friendly Tech Chats.
