Hitesh Allam · International Journal of Emerging Research in Engineering and Technology · 2023
Particularly within geographically scattered environments, the fast spread of cloud computing has transformed the way modern companies provide & monitor digital services. Conventional IT approaches are strained as businesses grow in need for consistent, uniform, and these flexible operations simultaneously. The growing requirement of combining two fundamental but typically separated many approaches Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps to maximize their cloud operations at scale is investigated in this article. While both approaches aim to increase service reliability & the speed of development, their different approaches may lead to unequal workflows, tool fragmentation & these cultural problems. The shortcomings especially show themselves in worldwide cloud deployments, where resilience, observability, and coordination are very vital. This article offers a coherent operational strategy combining SRE's focus on their reliability and automation with DevOps' agility and continuous delivery method. The article offers a pragmatic framework that balances technical and the procedural differences, therefore encouraging collaborative ownership, transparency, and a culture motivated by feedback. Through a single paradigm, the cloud migration of a worldwide company improved system reliability, deployment speed & cross-functional collaboration, as this case study shows. The case study highlights observable changes like lower incident response times, improved change success rates, and a more solid culture of accountability and learning. By using the combined capabilities of SRE and DevOps, this article aims to provide businesses wanting to coordinate their operations with useful insights and help to create durable, scalable cloud systems
