Certified DevOps Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Practitioner Training in Singapore

This advanced course is designed for experienced site reliability engineers (SREs) looking to deepen their knowledge and practical skills in implementing and managing reliability engineering principles at scale. Participants will explore anti-patterns, service level objectives (SLOs), observability, chaos engineering, incident response, and automation. The course includes real-world case studies, hands-on exercises, and group discussions to reinforce learning and application in professional environments.

Participants should have:

• A foundational understanding of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles.
• Prior completion of the SRE Foundation certification (mandatory).
• Experience with DevOps practices, system administration, or software development.
• Familiarity with incident response, monitoring, and automation.
