Who I am

I write as SBM SRE. I am a site reliability engineer with more than thirteen years in infrastructure and operations. I work on production platforms running many services across cloud and hybrid environments, with 24/7 operations and strict compliance requirements.

I built this site to share what I use and teach: practical, tested procedures, and learning paths that go from the basics to on-call readiness.

How I approach production

• Fail fast on systemic problems instead of retrying blindly.
• Prefer automatic, resumable recovery over manual intervention.
• Avoid collateral damage: a fix must not create a problem for a dependent system.
• Change one thing at a time, and record it.

Areas of focus

• Site reliability engineering and incident management
• Kubernetes and cloud platforms
• Infrastructure as Code and automation
• Observability and alerting
