“We had a lively discussion about the realities of efforts by teams and organizations that are ‘shifting left’ testing, design, and operational work earlier into their software development lifecycle. Thanks all for contributing your questions, struggles, and learnings.” - Stacie Frederick reflecting on her roundtables at #ELC a few weeks ago! #Stanza #devops #reliability #SRE

A gap in how we understand our production systems, and some suggestions for what to do about it.
The Insights Manifesto It’s so much of a cliché that it’s a cliché to write it down: software ate the world, but data is having it for dessert. Yet in my slice of the world - cloud, ML, production software, SRE, DevOps - the dinner party is dealing with indigestion, not inspiration. Why? It’s not as if we in the cloud world are new to data - arguably we’ve had operational data since the invention of the logfile in the 1970s. We also have a lot of data: in 2022, for example, an experiment with a single app on Kubernetes generated ~500Gb/month (and it hasn’t gotten smaller since). But again, it’s hard to find people in my world who think that this continually expanding data-swamp is worth it. At best it’s the reluctant cost of doing business. The lore and art connected to monitoring production systems - dashboard maintenance, system analysis, etc - is a hugely complex and demanding set of tasks. It’s generally viewed as necessary, but the expenditure of time and money to stay on top of everything is increasing. Often it seems we’re running to stand still. So again I ask - why? My answer: I think we’re missing a higher-level construct. We have an incredible amount of data, we even have a lot of information, but we have hardly anything that summarises the situation effectively, ranks or prioritizes, distills important facts, understands context, and keeps track of long-term trends without being explicitly told what to track. In other words, an experienced SRE to look over your shoulder and provide guidance. But there’s not enough of those to go around. So what do we do? https://lnkd.in/e6giW2i8

💡 There is still a profound missing gap in SRE tooling between discovering "signals" and taking "actions" Niall Murphy joins Jeremy Taylor on the #JUXTCast to discuss his experiences during Google’s infrastructure transformation in the late 2000s, and the wider contemporary challenges in the SRE landscape. 👀 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g4KX67FW #Stanza #SRE #reliability

We’re pleased to announce the BETA launch of Stanza's Interactive Outage Simulator, a training and modeling tool that SRE's are going to get a kick out of! https://lnkd.in/daREkjzs What you can use this for: *Training*: It’s useful for people to understand the dynamics of how time-of-day affects outages, the difference between lots of little outages and one big one, and how thinking about things in terms of CUJs can be useful. *Modeling*: Want to make a high-risk change? Feed your traffic pattern in and test what happens if you have an outage at the scheduled time. Or divide your traffic into CUJs and see what happens if you can protect some of them. Or write some code to estimate bounce-back after outages. Of course, all this behavior is extendable and changeable. So if you have traffic shapes, income models, or user behavior data that you would like to model, contact [email protected] and let us know. More tactical instructions in the comments.
