The state of SRE in 2023

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Claims that SRE still lacks a clear definition and suffers from branding chaos, backed by an informal poll showing even splits between DevOps, SRE, production engineering and platform roles and by 150 attendees at the event. Calls out concrete tooling and trends: Kubernetes and containers as default, eBPF for kernel-space metrics, automation via Git/GitHub and rising SaaS observability, and notes low uptake of AIOps and platform engineering. Describes two operational models, embedded vs centralized SRE, and says the barrier to entry keeps falling.
