Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Fundamentals
Validate production-grade reliability engineering skills for mission-critical systems.
About This Assessment
Site Reliability Engineers command salaries of $155K-$240K+ and are responsible for systems where downtime costs millions. This assessment validates hands-on skills in incident response, monitoring, chaos engineering, and distributed systems reliability—capabilities impossible to fake in interviews but critical for production operations.
What Candidates Will Do
Deploy a multi-tier application with Prometheus and Grafana monitoring, configure alerting rules, and create SLO/SLI dashboards
Implement automated incident response: detect a simulated failure, execute runbook automation, and perform root cause analysis
Configure and test horizontal pod autoscaling in Kubernetes based on custom metrics, then chaos test with deliberate failures
Automated Grading
Verify monitoring stack is properly configured with working alerts, runbook automation executes correctly during simulated incidents, autoscaling responds to load changes, and chaos engineering tests demonstrate system resilience. Check for proper logging, error budgets, and incident documentation.
Environment
Ubuntu 22.04 VM with Kubernetes (minikube or k3s), Prometheus, Grafana, kubectl, Ansible, Python, stress-ng, and sample microservices application pre-deployed
