The overwhelming majority of a software system’s lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems? In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Google’s Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. You’ll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficient—lessons directly applicable to your organization. This book is divided into four sections: Introduction—Learn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practices Principles—Examine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE) Practices—Understand the theory and practice of an SRE’s day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systems Management—Explore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use

Automating the Continuous Deployment Pipeline with Containerized MicroservicesAbout This Book* First principles of devops, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, microservices* Architect your software in a better and more efficient way with microservices packed as immutable containers* Practical guide describing an extremely modern and advanced devops toolchain that can be improved continuouslyWho This Book Is ForIf you are an intermediate-level developer who wants to master the whole microservices development and deployment lifecycle using some of the latest and greatest practices and tools, this is the book for you. Familiarity with the basics of Devops and Continuous Deployment will be useful.What You Will Learn * Get to grips with the fundamentals of Devops* Architect efficient software in a better and more efficient way with the help of microservices* Use Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Ubuntu, Docker Swarm and more* Implement fast, reliable and continuous deployments with zero-downtime and ability to roll-back* Learn about centralized logging and monitoring of your cluster* Design self-healing systems capable of recovery from both hardware and software failuresIn DetailBuilding a complete modern devops toolchain requires not only the whole microservices development and a complete deployment lifecycle, but also the latest and greatest practices and tools. Victor Farcic argues from first principles how to build a devops toolchain. This book shows you how to chain together Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Ubuntu, and other tools to build the complete devops toolkit.Style and approach This book follows a unique, hands-on approach familiarizing you to the Devops 2.0 toolkit in a very practical manner. Although there will be a lot of theory, you won't be able to complete this book by reading it in a metro on a way to work. You'll need to be in front of your computer and get your hands dirty.

The intent of this book is to provide guidance on modeling techniques that can be used to quantify the reliability of a product or system. In this context, reliability modeling is the process of constructing a mathematical model that is used to estimate the reliability characteristics of a product. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished, depending on the product or system and the type of information that is available, or practical to obtain. This book reviews possible approaches, summarizes their advantages and disadvantages, and provides guidance on selecting a methodology based on the specific goals and constraints of the analyst. While this book will not discuss the use of specific published methodologies, in cases where examples are provided, tools and methodologies with which the author has personal experience in their development are used, such as life modeling, NPRD, MIL-HDBK-217 and the RIAC 217Plus--Introduction.

The infrastructure-as-code revolution in IT is also affecting database administration. With this practical book, developers, system administrators, and junior to mid-level DBAs will learn how the modern practice of site reliability engineering applies to the craft of database architecture and operations. Authors Laine Campbell and Charity Majors provide a framework for professionals looking to join the ranks of today’s database reliability engineers (DBRE). You’ll begin by exploring core operational concepts that DBREs need to master. Then you’ll examine a wide range of database persistence options, including how to implement key technologies to provide resilient, scalable, and performant data storage and retrieval. With a firm foundation in database reliability engineering, you’ll be ready to dive into the architecture and operations of any modern database. This book covers: Service-level requirements and risk management Building and evolving an architecture for operational visibility Infrastructure engineering and infrastructure management How to facilitate the release management process Data storage, indexing, and replication Identifying datastore characteristics and best use cases Datastore architectural components and data-driven architectures

PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) SYSTEM DELIVERY AS RELIABLE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE A practical guide to improving photovoltaic power plant lifecycle performance and output Photovoltaic (PV) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure introduces a Preemptive Analytical Maintenance (PAM) for photovoltaic systems engineering, and the RepoweringTM planning approach, as a structured integrated system delivery process. A team of veteran photovoltaics professionals delivers a robust discussion of the lessons learned from mature industries—including PV, aerospace, utilities, rail, marine, and automotive—as applied to the photovoltaic industry. The book offers real-world “technical and fiscal” examples of the impact of photovoltaics to all stakeholders during the concept, specification, operations, maintenance, and RepoweringTM phases. In each chapter, readers will learn to develop RAMS specifications, reliability data collection, and tasks while becoming familiar with the inherent benefits of how these affect the cost of design and development, maintenance, spares, and systems operation. The authors also explain when and how to consider and implement RepoweringTM, plant upgrades and the considerations from concept through retirement and disposal of the plant. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to Preemptive Analytical Maintenance (PAM), including systems engineering, lifecycle planning, risk management, risk assessment, risk reduction, as compared to the historic utility models, An in-depth treatment of the modern photovoltaic industry, including economic factors and the present endlessly evolving state of technology, Constructive discussions and application of systems engineering, including RAMS and System Engineering practices and solutions, Extensive explorations and application of data collection, curation, and analysis for PV systems, including advanced sensor technologies. Perfect for all new through to experienced photovoltaic design and specification engineers, photovoltaic plant owners, operators, PV asset managers and all interested stakeholders. Photovoltaic (PV) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure will also earn a place in the libraries of utilities, engineering, procurements, construction professionals and students.
