Yes. The course includes hands-on demonstrations on defining SLIs and SLOs, calculating error budgets, setting up an SRE lab environment, deploying applications with Argo CD, installing Prometheus and Grafana, building SLO dashboards, managing on-call escalations, writing postmortems, creating runbooks, automating tasks with Ansible, tracking SLOs with Pyrra, configuring burn rate alerts, and performing GitOps-based rollback.

No prior SRE experience is required. However, learners should have a basic understanding of Linux commands, YAML, Kubernetes fundamentals, Git, and DevOps concepts to follow the practical demonstrations comfortably.

Yes. Since the course includes Kubernetes-based demonstrations using tools such as Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana, Helm, and kubectl, access to an Ubuntu-based Kubernetes environment is recommended.

You will learn how incidents are detected, triaged, escalated, communicated, mitigated, resolved, and reviewed. The course also covers on-call responsibilities, escalation workflows, handoffs, runbooks, burnout reduction, and writing blameless incident postmortems.

The course covers automation through toil reduction, runbook standardization, and Ansible playbooks. You will learn how routine operational tasks such as service checks, restarts, configuration validation, and system health collection can be automated.

You will gain practical skills in defining reliability targets, monitoring service health, building dashboards, configuring alerts, managing incidents, reducing toil, automating SRE tasks, tracking SLOs and error budgets, and performing GitOps-based rollback.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
