If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say companies that are seriously willing to engage in real SRE are probably also open enough to have a "How we did it" chapter written. At least in the Fortune 500 world where I live, companies aren't into pretending they don't suck, generally.
And the companies that are likely to be jerks about it are unlikely to be doing interesting SRE work. I'd like stories of hard-won success (or cautionary tales of failure), not just ranting about how much Company X sucks and how broken they are.
- peterwwillis 8y agoExactly. Most companies are willing to advertise their wins and lessons learned because it means they grew. If they don't have wins yet, they can use the wiki to work on their process and eventually contribute back what works. And I'm sure there's lots of existing companies who have gone through all of that (several of which are in the SRE workbook)
- lifeisstillgood 8y agoFortune 500 companies are vast agglomerations of different companies, fiefdoms, practises and teams. The same company could hold world leading teams and teams making every mistake going. And the legal department will be jerks if the latter get the spotlight. Please launch it - I hope it will do well.
