What is the primary goal of incident response in SRE?

To assign blame to the team or individual who caused the incident

To permanently disable the feature that caused the incident

To document every detail of the incident for legal purposes

To restore service as quickly as possible and then learn from the incident to prevent recurrence

What is a key similarity between DevOps and SRE?

Both are primarily about automating testing and deployment

Both focus on eliminating the operations team entirely

Both emphasize breaking down silos between development and operations

Both require the use of a specific set of tools, such as Kubernetes

What is the primary purpose of a Service Level Objective (SLO)?

To provide a legal contract between a service provider and a customer guaranteeing uptime

To define the exact penalty a provider must pay if service performance falls below a threshold

To measure a specific aspect of service performance, such as latency or error rate

To set a target level of reliability for a service, such as 99.9% availability over a rolling month

A company has a service with an SLO of 99.95% availability. They are considering adding a new monitoring dashboard that shows the percentage of requests that return errors. The team wants to ensure they are measuring the right thing. What should they use to track the SLO?

The percentage of time the service is up, as this is the only valid SLI for availability

The percentage of requests that return errors, as this is the SLI that directly reflects the SLO

The number of support tickets opened by customers, as this reflects user experience

The number of incidents that occurred, as this is the most direct measure of reliability

A company is comparing DevOps and SRE to decide which approach to adopt. They have a culture that values collaboration between development and operations. They want to improve reliability while maintaining a fast release cadence. What is the most accurate statement about the relationship between DevOps and SRE?

SRE and DevOps are mutually exclusive, and a team must choose one

DevOps is a subset of SRE, focusing only on automation

SRE is only applicable to large organizations, while DevOps is for small teams

SRE is a set of practices that can be implemented within a DevOps culture to provide concrete reliability engineering
