Below are 4 tools you should know as a site reliability engineer:
Container orchestrator
Software developers use a container orchestrator to run containerized applications on various platforms. Containerized applications store their code files and related resources within a single package called a container.
On-call management tools
These are software that allow SRE teams to plan, arrange, and manage support personnel who deal with reported software problems. SRE teams use the software to ensure there is always a support team on standby to receive timely alerts on software issues.
Incident response tools
They ensure a clear escalation pathway for detected software issues. SRE teams use incident response tools to categorize the severity of reported cases and deal with them promptly. The tools can also provide post-incident analysis reports to prevent similar problems from happening again.
Configuration management tools
They are software that automate software workflow. SRE teams use these tools to remove repetitive tasks and become more productive. For example, site reliability engineers use AWS OpsWorks to automatically set up and manage servers on AWS environments.
