I assume it's like "Enterprise architect" only maybe less so. For EA I've heard that no two companies ever mean the same thing by the term (I barely even know how we define it, and that's the team I'm on), where SRE I think is supposedly copied from people's half-understanding of what Google says it does.
- browningstreet 5y agoEA is design, SRE is ops/support.
- throwaway-dos 5y agoThis is wrong. SRE is an engineering org, NOT an ops or support org. While it's common practice for SRE teams to share some of the operational burden, it's for the purpose to find risks and vulnerabilities and then engineer solutions to those. I have never seen SRE do support. SREs should know how to build and run reliable and maintainable systems. Architecture and design are the best tools for that.
