Keep in mind that sysadmins are essentially babysitting software that they do not develop. The hacks that we come up with are to work around responsible party and help us get a good night's sleep instead of a 2am wakeup call. I try to cut you guys some slack, usually this proliferates when management decides they are willing to accept some inefficiency in favor of getting new features out the door. I get it, really.
My org is in the middle of a SRE introduction and for some reason I'm getting a lot of pushback on the topic of 'error budgets' and what to do with alerts when they are exceeded. Can't imagine why.
- dilyevsky 6y agoHow does using proposed solution prevents a 2am wake up call? Your monitoring/alerting does, this just makes it easier to recover already broken software. And btw I’ve been carrying pagers for more than a decade so well aware of all the organizational dynamics here. Best way to prevent this is have devs carrying pager too (amazons “you built it you run it”) - and magically your nighttime oncall is much more pleasant ;-)
