Niall will talk about how SRE changes the way we run our software. Unlike DevOps, which is more a philosophy, SRE is a pratice the engineering teams can adopt to be able to improve the way they run software.

After the general talk on SRE Niall will have a conversation around structure and interpretation of graphs, a very relevant skill to have when monitoring system.
