Explicación Oficial / Explicaciones de la Comunidad
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) focuses on the reliability, availability, and performance of production systems. Creating a monitoring baseline for an application is a core SRE responsibility because it establishes metrics to measure system health, detect anomalies, and ensure service level objectives (SLOs) are met. This involves defining key performance indicators (KPIs), setting up alerting thresholds, and implementing observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
Developing a new application feature is typically a software engineering task, not an SRE responsibility. SREs may contribute to feature development indirectly by ensuring reliability requirements are considered, but the primary ownership lies with development teams.
Submitting a budget for running an application in a cloud is a financial or management responsibility, often handled by finance or product teams. While SREs may provide cost estimates based on resource usage, budget submission is outside their core scope.
Writing policy on how to submit a code change is a process or governance task, often owned by DevOps or release management. SREs may influence policies related to deployment safety (e.g., canary deployments, rollback procedures), but the policy itself is typically defined by broader organizational guidelines.
